Ahh, the first day of Kindergarten. One of the biggest first of a child's life! The day has finally arrived. Clara and her bestie, Hailee, changed their minds several times about clothes and decided on these simple blue polo dresses and sandals. I am envisioning flashes of underwear and complaints that they didn't have adequate shoes for recess. Whatever. I knew the clothing thing was going to be a battle, which is why my daughter has been looking rather strange and mismatched for the past year.

Clara waiting in line for her class. I am pretty sure I looked exactly like this when I started Kindergarten. I can remember how I felt, and that I was a little shy back then. I got a little choked up, but she is really ready for Kindergarten and I know she is going to love it. She's my baby, so of course I will miss her. I realize that this is kind of it - no more kids at home after this year (she will go half day this year) during the day. It will make summers so much sweeter. Just when they start to get fun and interesting and outgrow their tantrums you send them off to school. Oh well - new and exciting adventures and that is what I want for them. I never had any illusions that I could keep them little forever! On to the next phase!
