Today was Alexa's first day of Kindergarten and we marked the occasion with the famous "First Day of School" picture. She is such a brave girl! She was so excited to wear her uniform and her knee socks, which I will add she looks so adorable and grown-up in, and head off to the school. She was only hesitant for a second when we turned the corner and she saw a gym full of kids. Her teacher quickly came over and directed her where to go. She sat down quietly in line and waited instruction. I watch for a few minutes and then I just couldn't take it any longer - I turned around with tears in my eyes. Why is so hard to see your baby grow up! Here is my "First day of school" picture. I am sure that many of yours were the same.
Have a great day! (I say between the sobs!)

oh Mandy, I am so old but remember that day for my daughter too. In fact the sunlight hit almost exactly the same on her hair as your daughters hair. She is a mom of 32 now with a kindergartener of her own. As sad as today is, I am sure behind the tears is pride in a job well done "mom". I am able to tell you your heart will swell many times with joyous tears with each litlle and big milestone to come...hint...wait until College Graduation get a bushel of tissues for that LOL!!! Have a great day and savor the "off" time without guilt! ~Donna
