In the first few years of life there are so many first. First smile, first time rolling over, first steps, first time eating solids, and on and on. Those first seems to slow down some, and then they reach that wonderful age of five. My sweet little Gracie recently turned 5 and had her first day of school. She looked so cute, and so excited. I remembered my first day of school and how shy and nervous I was. I wanted to stay with Gracie all day, but not wanting to look like a lunatic I knew I couldn’t do that. All that day I thought about what she might be doing. I wondered if she was scared or sad or if she was enjoying school on this her first day. Luckily my daughter hasn’t inherited my shy, reserved, self conscious personality. She couldn’t be enjoying school more. She loves her teacher, friends, lunch, and I think EVERYTHING about kindergarten. I have to admit it makes me feel a little sad inside, like she's moved on. I know that’s a selfish feeling but, “Hey! At least I’m honest!” I’m sure I am not the only mother to ever feel that way. Despite those small moments of sadness over another first I am so proud of Gracie and excited for this new adventure in her little life.
