I was a blubbering mess last night as Iain and I were going to sleep, just wondering if we had prepared her well for this day, what should we have done differently, will she make friends, will she like school, will she remember to choose chocolate milk since she doesn't like regular milk, how am I going to manage every minute of her life if she's not with me every minute? You know, rational kinds of things like that. =)
Iain was fine until after we walked out of her classroom, where she happily put her backpack in her cubby, found her name at a table, and started coloring on the contruction paper shirt at her spot. She barely looked up to tell us good-bye. As a matter of fact, I don't think she ever said good-bye. She was completely happy and content (I know this because I've been managing every minute of her life for 5 1/2 years and I know her very well .... see above). Seeing her happy was such a relief and joy to us. Iain expressd his with tears all the way home. =)
Here are some pix of the big girl this morning. We took many more pix so if you'd like more let me know.

You all have loved her well. And guided her firsts all along the way. And delighted in her growing confidence. And I thank you for sharing with me all along the way. She looks quite read for this first. Wish I could be a fly on the wall today. Looking forward to the debriefing. Love all of you.
Loved all the pics :) Hope your beautiful sweet girl had a wonderful first day!
Awesome! So glad she had a great start to her day! And her bright, shiny new lace-up sneakers were tied beautifully! Looking forward to, as Janet says, the "debrief" of the rest of the day. Love, Aunt Alicia
