Avery starts Kindergarten AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I can't believe that my little girl is now in school. All summer long she has been SO excited!!! We did all the school shopping and filled her backpack and it sat by the couch for about a week. Everyday she asked "Mommy, do I go today?" So the night before they were in bed early and I said "tomorrow is your first day of school" and Avery started screaming and laughing and jumping on the bed. Me, on the other hand was sick to my stomach. I was not ready for her to be gone all day. I tried my best to hide my emotions. I was excited for her, but sad for me :(

They girls share a room and so they set their alarm clock and they woke up at 6:50. They both walk into our bedroom with bedhead and sleepy eyes! We got ready and Justin and I took them to school. Hannah is a big 3rd grader and wanted to walk to class by herself, so Justin and I waslked Avery to her class. Her teacher is wonderful and Avery walked right on in. She found her cubby and they went to a table to color her name card.
She looked so small in that big classroom and my emotions got the best of me. I began to cry but tried my hardest to stop the flow of tears. I didn't want Avery to see me and get upset. When she looked up and me and saw that i was crying I told her it was my allergies. :) We said our "see ya laters" and walked out of her classroom and I lost it. Im glad Justin was there to be with me. I couldn't ask for a better school for my girls to go to. They have the best teachers and I know they are safe and loved.
