Today marks the first day of the next 12 years.
I wouldn’t say it started off on a high note. Of course, on the only day she is not allowed to sleep in, she sleeps in and I have to wake her up for school.
Me: Lucy, good morning!
Lucy: I don’t want to wake up.
Me: Do you know what day it is?
Lucy: School Day.
Me: It’s Kindergarten Day!
Lucy: Kindergarten, here I DON’T come!
Despite the lack of excitement, as soon as she saw some of her school friends waiting to go into the building, she perked up and nearly walked through the door without saying “goodbye”. Luckily last minute she ran over and gave me a hug and a kiss.
And then I cried. Big ugly tears. I look to my right, most of the other Mom’s are crying too. I am glad it is normal.
After pick-up, the consensus is that Lucy likes school. Well thank goodness! <wink>

On a side note, I would just like to share another conversation I had today with my lovely 5yo.
Lucy: (while hand resting on my stomach) Mom, are you pregnant?
Me: No Lucy, I’m not pregnant.
Lucy: (rubbing my belly) I think you could be pregnant and just not know it yet.
Me: I’m not pregnant.
Well goodness. I know I have been off track for the past three weeks but goodness. I guess I can use that for a little motivation…
Kids.
