First day at school

9/9/2015

25 Comments

 
I feel like I have been talking about this day forever and now it is finally here. And despite the long build up it came around far too soon. Not for Little E, she has been gagging to put on her uniform and get started all summer, but for me. My little girl is not so little anymore.
Picture
She ran into class barely throwing us a wave of goodbye. I am so proud of the super independent, kind person she has become but a little bit of me is sad for all that is in the past and, I'll admit it, envious that her teacher will be spending more time feeding that little personality than I will. I know this is all normal, the term 'bitter sweet' comes to mind but it doesn't make it any easier today. But I pushed away the tears as today was all about the smiles, skipping and smelling the flowers.
Picture
Good luck reaching for the stars Little E. You will be amazing, as always.

I've been looking at everyone's 'first day at school' photos though different eyes this year. It has dawned on me that I will be doing the same in two years. I hope that Tin Box Tot skips off as happily as Little E did. And I hope she had a fantastic first day x #mycapturedmoment

Awwww. So cute. I'm so glad it went well for you. I had the same last week. Though from Monday of this week she was full days. And like you - all I got was a 'blink and you miss it' wave goodbye! Steph xxx #MyCapturedMoment

So exciting! I am a kindergarten teacher and meet kids on their "first day" every year. As a mother I know how hard it is for mommies to let go of their kids' hands on that first day, but truly, 9.5 out of 10 kids are more than ready and benefit from the play and exploration in the classroom. Just think of all the things she'll be able to tell you about at the end of each day. It truly is awesome!!

You are right my daughter is so ready for this step. I am struggling to get details from her at the moment now. She just tells me she has been 'playing'! x

Ah and there she goes!! It's such a big day isn't it?! I wasn't ready for it either. I do think it's so much harder for us parents. Thank you for linking up to #MyCapturedMoment xxx

what a fab milestone for Little E to have encountered, it's always bittersweet for the mums left at home though! I hope she's enjoying her school life. Popping in from Magic Moments.
