Emily had her first day of preschool a few weeks ago. She was most excited about her backpack & watched her reflection in the windows as she walked in the door. Buying, packing, and marking her school supplies with her name was surreal for me. One of those weird "mommy" moments when you realize things are about to change again and not be the same anymore.
She was very excited to go and wasn't worried at all to leave me. I did mist up a bit as I said goodbye. Seeing her in that backpack made her seem so big. Next year I'll be taking her to Kindergarten. Now THAT'S crazy!
The smile seen here is her quirky excited/shy smile she gets when she's enjoying being made a big deal of, but not so sure of it all at the same time. It's very sweet.
