Leah's First Day of School

Dear Leah,

I watched you get on the bus this morning as you headed off for you first day of Kindergarten. You are so excited. As I watched, I couldn't help but think about that 4lb 14oz baby that was born 5 years ago too early. Look what you have become - you are intelligent, caring, loveable, compassionate and empathetic. Yes, you are also stubborn, but this is part of what makes you special, what makes you YOU! I am so excited for you to begin this new chapter of you life. I am confident that you will do well even that you will enjoy it! I am not sure what will become your favorite subject, but I am so excited to be a part of the journey that will lead you to find your likes and dislikes as well as your strengths and weakness. Your dad and I will be there for you every step of the way, and I hope that we will provide you the right amount of guidance and support. Good luck Honey, I am so proud of you.

I love you lots!
Mommy


Leah chose her backpack, lunch bag and first day of school outfit. I am starting to wonder if she has a new favorite color!?!?!!


Conversation before the bus comes
Mommy: Will you look back when you get on the bus
Leah: Okay....
A little while later, Leah:
No, mommy, I don't want to do that!

And, Nope, she did not look back.

My baby is growing up!

Addendum: Leah's favorite part of the day: recess and coloring!
