Then...we have this morning. She got to ride the bus to school. Now I CAN & WILL take her to school, but she is determined that she wants to ride the bus. So, I said okay. We'll see if she feels that way tomorrow!

So Big....continued!
Several of you asked about the end of the day, so I of course took video for you all! She had a great time as you will see in the video, she went on and on! I so wish I could have gotten some of the stuff she said on video, but I was too slow!

So Big!
Of course everyone knows what today is.....the 1st day of school, Kindergarten, REAL school. I can't believe how big my baby is, it just blows my mind. Today was a traumatic event, but only for me. Caroline is a trooper, and marched right in to begin her day! She was a little nervous about going, but when we pulled in the parking lot and she saw her Uncle Ryan's car, she was ready to go! Her best friend Avery, basically her cousin, lives next door with her mom and Ryan, so she felt safe knowing that Avery was there too!
I of course cried the entire way to school, and the whole time we were there! Then I cried all the way to work, and have just recently stopped crying so that I could post about it! I have so many mixed emotions right now, that I can't even describe all of them. I am so excited for her to go and learn, but so sad because I can't just do what I want to with her anymore! No picking her up early for the zoo, or to get ice cream....she has to stay there now.
She had a good morning, Tab, and her dad (Steven) were both there to see her off, and I am picking her up when school gets out. Ok...I will just post the video and slideshow I made so you can see for yourself!

1 more day......
I hate this. That's all I can think. I just don't want to believe that my BABY is no longer a baby. She is growing up much faster than I ever imagined. When your little it seems like time goes on forever and by the time your 30, you can't even keep up with what day it is!
I am having a hard time thinking of what my number 1 is going to be today. I already cried this morning on my way to work.....tomorrow is going to be so hard. And yes everyone, I know I always cry...I can't help it!
So I guess today can be 1 thing she did this summer to touch my heart. And this one really made me cry!
1. She told me that my mom kissed her.
.....Now, I have already explained that my mom passed away 7 years ago, and that Caroline thinks that all butterflies are my mom. We went to a butterfly conservatory in Canada and this is the picture I took..... It makes my #1 self explanatory! Talk about touching your heart!

Oh how I hate this! She is so big and grown up now, I feel almost lost sometimes. I feel like all I have lived for over the last 6 years is her. And now it is up to me to send her off to BIG school and let the teachers do their jobs.
What a scary feeling! There won't be anymore just picking her up early when I want to to take her somewhere, or picking her up after nap time to get ice cream. She has to stay all day. That makes me sad, really sad!
So for 2 days to go you get the 2 things that I love most about Caroline. Of course there are like a million things I love about her, but I'll give you the two things that are a guaranteed smile for me everyday!
1. When she 1st gets up in the morning and her face is still all squished up from sleeping....you know what I mean, how they have wrinkles from their pillows, or the sheets where they are laying....well when she smiles at me like that, it makes me heart melt!
2. After she goes to bed, I always go check on her after about 30 minutes or so, and I give her kisses, and say my own little prayer for her. I have done this since the day she was born! I say the exact same thing every night, and the only nights I have missed are the nights that she has not been with me. If for some reason I forget, I always wake up in the middle of the night and remember, then I go and have my special moment with her.
Now I know that it seems funny that 2 of my favorite times of day with her are basically when she's sleeping, but that's only because that is when she is still so pure and innocent. She does so many things everyday that make me smile, but these 2 are the ones I most look forward to because they are special!

3.......
So, three days to go.....So you get 3 of my fears for Caroline starting school!
1. She will hate it!
2. She will not behave for her teacher.
3. She will be bored.
Now, I know these are normal things, and that she WILL do just fine, but give me a break, I'm her mom and I have to worry about these things. I think I'm more worried about me than her!
