Our happy Gracie is off to Kindergarten. She was so excited and met her teacher the day before at a fun little picnic. We got there a little early and at the recommendation of a good friend I left my two younger kids with a sitter and just took Gracie. We walked into class and got her all situated. Her seat was next to a cute little boy she knows from our ward and her teacher is super nice and cute.
Then it was time for me to go, and my eyes filled with tears. They had a nice little set-up of bagels and juice outside for the kindergarten parents to visit and talk to the principle. I talked to some nice moms, but my appetite was gone. I was really surprised that I got so emotional. I think that I took Gracie's readiness to equal that I was ready too. I wasn't. :( I miss her. Gracie is doing full day Kindergarten so it is a long day having her away. Today is day 3 and she is an old pro now. (more on that in the next post).

Gracie looks so so cute and ready for her first day. What a big thing in your life! I felt super emotional when Bentley started K. It didn't help that he was very stressed and didn't know a single kid in his class and he was so upset and scared. Oh man it killed me! But then Cares had not a single woe and loved it so it saved me from any stress too. Love that Gracie is already "TC" (too cool) and thinks she can walk from the bus stop on her own :)
cute cute gracie!! Big girl in kindergarten. I loved catching up on the posts and here that she is just fine on the bus! My kids would die to ride a bus.
