1st Day of Kindergarten!!!!!

 I can't believe the day has come that my baby is starting Kindergarten.  I was so excited for her to go because she has been looking forward to it since her graduation from Pre-K in May.  At least once a week throughout the summer she asked how many days til Kindergarten.  The night before it really started to hit me that I had to trust other adults with the care and safety of my baby.  Monday morning Reese woke up excited and ready to go.
In her back to school outfit and book bag/lunchbox. Unfortunately her school system requires all book bags to be mesh or plastic for safety reasons.  So we didn't get to have the cutesy bag, but Reese picked out the monogram she wanted for it.  
 One of her highlights was that Daddy was going with her to school and he could see her classroom.
Outside of her classroom! I love the look on her face, she is so excited.

I will be honest, I had a hard time keeping it together that morning.  Thankfully I had my camera and picture taking duties to keep me occupied.  But once she was in class and sitting down I couldn't get out of there fast enough.  It felt like the walk back to our car took an hour because I was trying to keep my tears from flowing.
