Kindergarten......ready or not here we come!!!

Bibby,
Today was a day that I have dreaded since the day you were born. I honestly can not believe this day is here. Your dad and I debated and debated on whether or not to hold you back but after prayer and encouragement from your teachers we decided you were ready. I, on the other hand was not. I had this urgent feeling of, "wait, wait....you can't possibly know everything I wanted to teach you and saw your entire little life flash before me. You woke up before the alarm clock with such excitement and ready to go. We got your clothes on (of course you did not want to wear the dress with the smocked crayons and apples that I bought with this day in mind probably two years ago..oh well) and you could not wait to put on your backpack. Virginia, you were not as thrilled about waking up early. You cried when we left Bibby that you wanted to go to kindergarten too. When we got you to your room you walked right in and put your things away. Dad and I hugged you goodbye and the minute I got outside the room I could no longer hold the tears back. The clock couldn't get to noon quick enough (you got out at noon the first two days). You ran out with the biggest smile on your face. You sat next to Abby and Mac at lunch and were so excited because you got to see Emily. You have the sweetest little class and I feel so good about you being at Eastwood and in Mrs.Hand's class.

I can't believe Mary Bibb is in kindergarten! She looks adorable and so grown up!

Hope tomorrow is easier for you!

I was thinking about you and Mary Bibb today. I think it's safe to say that in most situations they're way more ready than we give them credit for, and we're way less ready than we've given ourselves credit for! :) I know she's having a great time. Towns starts at the church next Wednesday, so we need to get our kindergarten wannabe's together to pass the time while the big sisters are becoming rocket scientists!! Call me!!

I can't believe she is already at Eastwood, it seems like yesterday we were all waiting out in the hall at DGH for her arrival into this world!!!
