These are from the "Meet and Greet" day where we met her teacher and stayed for an hour. She was super shy but had a great time. She'll do better when she is on her own without me there :)
And then her real first day! I still can't believe that she is in Kindergarten. She couldn't be more ready for it...the routine, the independence, the learning...everything! Now I have learn how to get her to tell me stories from her day, she usually comes home and doesn't want to tell me much. It starts early I guess :) And I did have some tears but not actually on the first day. What really got me was the first day that she did not want me to walk her to the door. I drop her off a block away from school, so that I can get to work and not get stuck in the drop-off line. When she blew us a kiss and walked so confidently and happily down that sidewalk for the first time, thats when the tears started to flow (even when I am typing this, I'm tearing up!)
She's been in a pretty sheltered little bubble up until now, even going to preschool at church. We're giving up control and letting her go into the world and she is going to be great.

I'm not going to lie, the baby in the bottom picture is a bit creepy! Gwen is certainly growing up!
Gwen looks like such a big girl - I can't believe she's in kindergarten! So fun... and I feel your emotion letting go of your baby in this new stage. :)
