today was your first day of first grade. i cant believe how much you have grown in the last year. do you remember last year? you were scared to go into class. you clung to me as you lined up for school. not today. today you were up at 6:45 am. asking if it was time for school yet. asking when the bus would come. yes, you are now riding the bus to your school. i was apprehensive. you are excited. we got ready. you asked to snuggle with me on the couch before school. i was so happy. we walked down the street to wait for the bus. you were anxiously waiting- looking in each direction for the big yellow school bus. you saw it... and you were so excited. i thought back to last year. its still so vividly in my memory... walking down the street to school. my heart was so heavy and sad. i didnt want to really believe you were old enough for kindergarten then. and here we are now. 1st grade. but it was different this year. i was excited for you. excited for you to meet new friends. excited for you to learn new things. but i will still miss you during the day. oh so very much. amy does too. but i am excited for you to come home and tell me all about your day.
i love you so much aly.
xoxo,
mommy
