Today was officially the first day of Kindergarten for Liv. She was very excited to go. We got all dressed and got her backpack on. Then Ethan felt left out and thought he was going to school too. So we had to put his backpack on and take his picture. We had to go 15 minutes early so she wouldn't "be late for school". The kids all lined up outside the classroom door. Then it was time to say goodbye. I said "bye Liv have fun"! And she said "Ok bye Mom"! She didn't have any problem saying goodbye. Me, on the other hand, had serious issues. My baby girl no longer needed me
. She was growing up right before my eyes. I made it to the car before I broke down into tears. Then I went to pick up Ethan from Christy's and cried my eyes out to her. I don't know why I am so emotional about her going to Kinderga
rten. I am excited for her to experience all the things I remember about school. I hope she loves it as much as I did! When we got home, Ethan went around the house calling for Liv. I told him Liv was at school and he said "Liv asleep?" and I said "no Liv is at school" I guess he didn't believe me because he went to check in her bedroom. When he didn't find her there, I guess the truth sank in.

Oh My! I feel your pain. Seriously. My Ema starts on Friday and I feel like I'm going to throw up when I think about it. Good Luck. Are we really this old that we can have school-age children? I'm in denial.
Tears. I'll never forget you coming to pick up Ethan. She's getting too big, and though you think she doesn't need you as much anymore, she does. She's going to need you even more!
She looked so excited and cute on the first day. I know how you feel, it is still weird for me that I have kids in school and as old as they are.
