Well, tomorrow our lives change forever...Abby enters kindergarten. Abby and I have both been excited for this day for a long time. She is so excited about school and learning. (She says she's excited to "do her studying".) I know that it is time and I am anxious for her to learn and experience new things. But, the last few days it really hit me that this is it: she's not just mine anymore. For almost 5 years I have been with her pretty much all day every day: I know what she sees and hears and does. But, now she's entering the "world" (granted, it's only kindergarten for a few hours a day, but humor me), and I'm having kind of a hard time! I won't let Abby see it, but I'm sad tonight, and I'll probably cry a bit tomorrow.
Now I understand moms who say they cried more than their kindergartner did. But, I'm sure we'll all be fine...I can't wait to pick her up after school tomorrow, put the little girls down for naps, and hear all about it. I guess that will be special, too. =)
(Boy, how am I ever going to send my girls off to college?!)

BOO! I am getting weepy thinking about it! I hope it went well...actually, I'm SURE it went well! Abby will always be your baby and you will always be the most important influence in her life. As for college, it's over-rated...keep them home. :) (kidding, of course) xo
it gets easier, keep er talking and tellinng you about school and you will still know what's happeneing and be able to steer her in the right direction! good luck! You will both love it and treasure your time even more!
