Well today is the day. My daughter Lilly is off to Pre-K. She was so excited. We put her in a new dress and her favorite shoes, Tap Taps, that is what she calls them. She had her hair brushed and today it laid perfect. She had her pink Princess backpack in hand and off to Pre-K she went. As we arrived at the school there was a huge line of cars waiting to let their child off at the door. Lilly was getting very impatient. As the line grew shorter I grew more teary eyed. I am not so sure about this. I know most parents put there children in some form of preschool but, I wonder if it is right for her and if it is not too soon. She has never been away from home only to stay the night with grandma. I am excited and scared, lonely and sad. I can't believe that my daughter is big enough for school. I am grateful that she is excited and very excepting of the idea. Now I am sure you are thinking "this woman needs to suck it up". Well I am trying, but I can't help but to think of how school was for me and I only hope that she doesn't get made fun of or offended in anyway.I hope she feels great the last day as she did the first. And all I am left with is they mental picture of the teacher comming to get her from her booster seat and walking her to the door. It was beautiful and frightening all at the same time. I am greatful to have such a wonderful little girl in my life. I love you Lilly and I hope you have an awesome first day.
