Mommy is Sad, KK is Glad, Won't Be the Last Time

Yes you are reading that sticker correctly! KINDERGARTEN. Our church promotes the children in June so that they are in their new classes for VBS!!! I do not consider myself an emotional person, (don't ask my husband or my siblings), it is not like I cry at many movies, or cry while I am reading a good book BUT... as I watched KK go into the new building and the new room without even turning around, I could cry right now all over!! Now, I should have been ready for this to happen because she told me how excited she was, I should have been ready because I had been telling her about this day for over a month, I should have been ready for this day because I used to work at the church and I am very familiar with Promotion Weekend however, had 2 of my friends not been standing right there next to me I would have lost it all together. She went in with one of her classmates, Ethan and Nicholas (who is going into 1st grade, but same room) walked in with her. Trev and I stood there and said good-bye and she marched right in there with her Kindergarten sticker so proudly displayed on her dress. She was having soo much fun when we picked her up, some of the kids were dancing on the stage singing songs from last year's VBS, which she is very familar with.

I also should have known she would be okay when she so precisely told me last week that she was going back to the BIG church where she started! See the pre-school is in a building of it's own. So she is right since the nursery is in the main building with all of the elementary classes!

I know, I know this is just the beginning of letting go. WOW, I just never realized it would be so Tough!!! August 25 is marked on my calendar, I knew 5 years ago this day would come, you see she is not the first kid to go to kindergarten, however, I never truly understood the words my parents said when they said to enjoy every moment because it goes soooo fast. And if this was an inclination of how that day will go, we better get the box of kleenex ready because 3:00pm that day will not come too soon for me!
