First day at school

9/9/2015

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.

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.

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

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.

Infertility is not something any woman is supposed to go through in life. I will therefore recommend that you read this. I'm Sarah Weston. I'm from Wisconsin, USA. Married for 11 years with infertility, my infertility journey has ended with the help of Lord Krish Spiritual. I have joined many infertility journey blogs online, and did IVF for 2 years. I searched for solutions to my problem and never relented which has helped me to find the right connection to help me cure this devastating problem. As a patient of endometriosis stage 3, it was really difficult to have a child but with the help of Lord Krish, I got fertile and conceived within days of the herbal treatment which he sent to me through DHL and before I knew it, my womb was opened and I conceived and was finally pregnant with twins babies. I never believed it was possible after 11 years of marriage. I gave birth to twins, Dale and Diane. I want to say thank you to Lord Krish and to everyone who has helped me both mentally and emotionally through this journey. Lord Krish solved my problem for me and I promised him to manifest his work to other people and friends. His Email to reach out to him is ([email protected])
