One Small Step for Baby Girl
This is it. The end of life as I know it. Baby Girl is starting school tomorrow. Not preschool half day...real life all day take your lunch ride the bus kindergarten. What am I going to do? She'll be fine, but will I? In the morning I'm dropping my first born off at a school full of children & teachers who will not know just how completly amazing she is. They won't know just how kiss her owies or laugh at her bizarre knock-knock jokes or fix her socks just so...She'll be fine, but will I?

you will survive
as long as you know how to love
I know she'll be just fine
You'd have forbid her to grow up
You'd have made her stop at three
if you had known for just one second
just how hard this day would be
Go on now go,
walk out the door
you just turned around now
and she's a baby girl no more
You may be the one who will break down and cry
but you know that this same moment will make her hold her head up high.
And you, you will survive...
Yeah.. okay that's as far as I can get with that... I'm discoed out for the night. But, hey, I tried to give you a smile on a very difficult day. Remember it isn't just a closing of a chapter, but the beginning of a whole new adventure. Hang in there.
Kiss her owies? Oh brother.
Hey been missing you. I remember that day so well. Yuri is starting tomorrow in the 2nd grade. We can cry together if you want.
I'll be thinking about you!
There is NOTHING that can prepare you for this moment....Good Luck Honey .....yes I mean you FARMWIFE. Baby Girl WILL have a great time!!!!You on the other hand better have lots of hankies and a phone pal on speed dial.
FW- I remember the day well! I was so choked up I could barely breathe, let alone talk! My baby girl thought I was "so weird." She was very excited and did fine...Eventually it becomes easier! LOL ~~HUGS~~
Go to www.aslanschild.blogspot.com to see my sis-in-law's experience with my oldest niece... it should make you laugh. Can't wait to hear what your Baby Girl said about her first day.
My gson started kdg. this year, too, but they're easing us into it by letting him loose at noon for two weeks. I think he'd prefer being there all day, actually. He loves his teacher, so that helps a lot!
They do half day kindergarten here, so I'm ok until next year. Even though when I got the "Elementary School Policies" packet in the mail, I was all confused going "Why on Earth would they send this to me? I don't have an Elementary School kid...OMG I DO! MY BABY! NOOOOO!!!
You'll be ok. She'll do great.
How exciting... YOu'll do just fine! (I have one more full year til The Princess flies the coop and goes off to kindergarten!)
This is one of the great mysteries of life.
You can spend months and months wondering how in the world you could send your small helpless child off into that big world.
There will be days when you change your mind, beliving she isn't ready and your not going to send her.
Then one day something wonderful and unexplainable happens and you know that she is so ready for school.
All that worry and those hidden tears will go back were they come from and wait until that next big event in Baby Girls life comes to pass.
You will watch her walk into that school and know that this is just one of many blessing that you will witness as she grows up.
