almost a month ago...

Saylor started Kindergarten and she is thriving in the classroom. My little shy girl is blossoming into a social butterfly. Thus far at school she LOVES playing farm, reading books, math, PE, recess - where they play chase, the blocks and snacks. I LOVE picking her up and learning a day in the life of a kindergartner.

The night before the BIG day, we gathered all of her supplies into her backpack and went to meet her teacher.

That night, the entire family snuggled in Sophia's fullsize bed and read books.

Finally, I picked up my 44 pounder and went to the rocking chair to rock her to sleep, something I have done since she was 20 months old. She fell asleep and I cried. The next morning we dosed her with an excessive amount of sugar - a cake. This is a tradition we started 2 years ago prior to the first day of preschool and will continue until she goes off to college.

love this girl and with mixed emotion, we begin a new chapter in her life.
