About Kacie's First Day of School
I just brought my daughter to her first day of kindergarten. So many mixed emotions have been running through me for months about this big event. I have been worried, scared, happy, and excited. Nothing can prepare you for this day. This morning we woke up at 7am. Kacie was very excited, and I was excited for her, but nervous at the same time. We got up and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Kacie did not eat well at all, maybe she is also a little nervous about her first day of being away from me all day. She got dressed in her pretty new dress, and I combed her hair. We brushed our teeth, put on our shoes, and we were ready. We went outside and got the car. We drove to her school. I parked, and walked inside. A teacher was waiting near the door for the kindergarteners. Kacie got a name tag, I took one last picture, and then it was time for her to go alone, with a teacher down the hall to her first day of school. I couldnt watch her walk away, as tears filled my eyes I left the building. I dont know if Kacie cried. She didn't as she walked down the hall way, and I hope she didn't in class. But mommy just wasn't as brave. I cant believe my little baby girl is in such a big school with so many other children. I have been a stay-at-home mom with her since I graduated high school in 1998, when she was almost 3. Before then I got to spend most of my day with her, and when I was in school she was at home with my mom. She has only gone to preschool 3 days a week for 3 hrs a day. And now she is in her big school for 6 hours every day. My baby is a big girl now, and I am just not brave enough to let her go into that world. I think today was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I am happy that she is so brave, and I am so proud, my heart is bursting. But if I could just cradle her one more time. Play with her all day. I miss my baby, but I will except my big school age girl with open arms.

Be safe Kacie, Mommy loves you, and always will.
