First Day of School

So I have been dreading this moment since the day Gracie was born. I knew that the day would come that I would be sending her off into the world, and she would no longer be under my 24/7 protective hand. In contrast Gracie, has been anticipating this day for SO long. She is more than ready for Kindergarten. It has been so much fun watching her grow up this summer, she has blossomed so much. Her teacher said Gracie was her tallest student, and would be one of her oldest as well. When we went in for registration everyone thought that Ben was the Kindergartner and Gracie was the first grader. (Ben loved that). All in all I did make it through the day, I actually did not cry, only because Jake wanted to take Gracie to school, and we agreed that would probably be in mine and Gracie's both interest. (I didn't want to embarrass her by any means.) I know if I dropped her off at school I would have not been okay. =) Then I am wondering if I missed out on a certain "Mom" right of passage? Ohh well I am sure it will be the same for the other 3 or 4 or 5.... (ahh.. the thoughts of having to do this again and again. I don't see it getting any easier). Anyways Gracie has had the "best" week of school so far. According to her, she has the best teacher in the world and she apparently is "the Bomb!" (its starting already) Gracie also aced her first homework assignment which was writing her name 4 times perfectly, and received her very first "Great job" sticker, and a prize from the prize box for knowing her birthday. She is loving Kindergarten and could not be happier. I am so excited for her this year, I know there are going to be many more posts about all the things she accomplishing.
