    Today?? Oh, I know how hard it is! If you're like me you headed straight out the car to cry and then call your best girlfriend. Hope your day goes better (each day gets a little easier... I promise!).

    Hi Paula,

    I can't imagine how you are feeling. So exciting but sad at the same time. She does look so cute though!!!!

    Mine too, heart breaking, that is. And my two are in fourth and second grade. You'd think I was over it by now.

    I hope she has a wonderful day. I bet she'll be all smiles and full of stories when she comes home!

    And that skirt...too cute for words, really!

    Oh my. I will keep your heart in my thoughts all day. I can only imagine what that feels like and how you're never really ready. Did you make her skirt? Seriously, so cute.

    My son starts Kindergarten this September and I've been sighing over his baby album for the past few weeks.
    I love the skirt your daughter is wearing - perfect for the first day of school!

    My little girl started last week and I didn't make it back to the car before I started sobbing. It's so much harder on mommies. I am thinking of you.

    And, I'll add my raves about the skirt...It is adorable!

    last year my son started preschool and i felt weak every time i would say bye bye to him. I think it's harder on us moms than it is for them. She will love it...and you will love that you can do so much in the meantime.

    You will always cherish the memory of this day...even though it is bittersweet. Your daughter is beautiful! Every milestone is so precious.

    I STILL vividly recall the first day of kindgergarten when Brooke wanted to ride the bus home! She was fiercely independent, even then.

    She will look back on this day with fond memories I bet :)

    I hate to say it, but it never gets easier. Each year you wonder why they have to grow up soooo fast and yes, your heart breaks just a bit each time. The up side is getting to hear all about their day--some priceless moments and chats are in your future. Enjoy those. :)
