Sometimes I just stop for a moment and realize just how much time has gone by, my Olivia is quickly approaching 6 years old. And with her September birthday I got an extra year with her before Kindergarten starts. And today she had her meet and greet with her Kindergarten teacher. How did we reach this milestone already. My sweet little girl who is always at my side, my little shadow, my helper, in fact she is a mini me. I could not help but get choked up as she walked so independently and happy to the school. I found myself, oddly, longing for her to be attached to my leg saying "my mama"
Look at her confidently marching up to school.
Such a big girl ready to take on the world and go to elementary school. Yet, she seems so small standing at that doorway. I am not ready to send another one off on that big yellow bus. And there she stands looking so ready and proud.
This way mom, let's go meet my teacher.
Mom that's enough with the camera.
Just one more honey, just you and this wonderful woman who I will share you with this year. You will grow and learn so much. And I love you.
I know without a doubt this will be the hardest year yet for school, sending 2 of my babies off on that big yellow bus.
