aidan's first day of kindy.

aidan's first day of kindergarten was today.

needless to say... i cried. and again, needless to say, she told me "don't crrrrrry, mommy."

i cried this past week thinking that my little best bud was going to be at school all.day.long. which, keep in mind, is not that much more than last year lol she goes from 8-3pm now. last year she was 9-2pm.

but kindy is so different.

its so grown up.

i have an elementary schooler now.

she was so excited. we got her hair cut. we got a new dress. new backpack. new lunch box. new water bottle. she knew she'd have to make new friends - and although that made her nervous, she knows that she's good at it.

while taking her hand and walking her in this morning, i teared up. knowing she'd be dropped off and walking to the lunchroom like a big girl. knowing that she would have more personal responsibility at school. and also knowing that she's the perfect candidate for all of it. she's so mature for her age. so smart. she cant wait learn to read (better than she does now). she loves math and science. she loves crafts and music.

so letting go was hard. but seeing her cute face run up to the car at pick up was worth the tears. she's my big girl. love you, aidan.

(i want to apologize for my 35L crappy-ness. its on its way to canon to be fixed right now)


instagram love on the way.
