The Sweetest Memories...

I remember her first day of Kindergarten like it was yesterday. She was so excited. We had her backpack packed up with crayons and a beach towel for nap time. It was bright pink and purple and almost the same size as her, her backpack. We walked her down the huge hallway to Julie Smith's class. She was so excited. She wore a cute little denim skirt that was off white and had flowers around the top and the matching shirt. She was careful to pick out just the right outfit. She had on her sweet little ruffled socks and a pair of Keds. She had bouncing pig tails that were just perfect. She was so excited. I kissed her goodbye and cried all the way back to the front of the school. We had been taking pictures the whole time. This was the biggest day ever, right? She couldn't sleep the night before. She was so excited. She was a big girl and she was going to the big girl school. I thought about her all day. I worried she was eating lunch alone. I wondered if she had made any new friends or if she was too nervous to talk to anyone. I worried she might get lost in the halls, they were so big and she was so little.

She had a great day. She was so excited. She had made so many new friends and wanted to invite all of them home. They were all her best friends. She loved her teacher, coloring and story time. She couldn't talk fast enough to tell us about her day. She was so excited.

I will never forget today. It was her first day of school all over again. She wore a white skirt with a white,black and pink shirt, pink shoes and wore her hair down. She had to look just right.She was so excited. She couldn't wait to kiss me bye and drive off. She had decorated the car so everyone would know it was her year. She couldn't sleep the night before. She was so excited. I thought about her all day.I wondered how her day was going. Did she make any new friends? Was she nervous in class? Would everyone be happy to see her and who would she sit with at lunch? She has gotten so big. I can't believe she is so much taller than me.

She had a great day. She was so excited. She had made new friends and was just as happy to see the old ones. She was excited about some classes and dreading others. She couldn't talk fast enough to tell me about her day. She was so excited. I still can't believe that she is a Senior, it seems like just yesterday....bouncing pig tails and ruffled socks with a beach towel for naptime.
