Intruding on the 3G

No T.O.T post today as my Kidlet has officially entered grade three.

Today was the first day of school and it has totally evolved from the day that I sent her for her very first day of Kindergarten.   As you can see in the pics below that she is definately growing like a weed, her favorite color has not altered and she is all about "first day fashion".

What has changed is how this Mommy reacts on this big day.

Kinder was the absolute worst!  I moved from Houston back to DFW two weeks prior to school starting.  I had already purchased her clothing, backpack, lunch box, hair bows, school supplies and such thinking that I was 100% prepared.  I was wrong.

True, I had all of her stuff ready for school but I was not mentally prepared for the day that my baby angel was actually going to start school.  I was okay that morning until we started taking pics and I immediately felt a wave of emotion.  I started to cry before we even stepped foot into the school.  If you know me IRL, you know that once the crying starts, it takes a bit before I can stop it.  That day was so important for her, such a milestone but I realized that she was growing up and there was not a dang thing that I could do to stop it.

First and Second grade were a breeze and today was like any other mid year drop off.  She is getting so big and mature.  It is still fun to see all of the kids excitement at seeing their friends from the previous year.

We have already started cheer practice (Go Texans!) and volleyball starts next week.  She has a dentist appointment next week to find out when we will be adding some silver to her smile with braces.  Knock on wood that we can keep her out of glasses or contacts as Mommy and Daddy are broke after purchasing  ALL school clothes at Justice, four pair of new shoes, essentials, jewelry, etc and paying for her extra curricular activities (all while keeping a roof over her head and food on the table).

Here are a few pics of my Baby Child entering school as an official 3rd grader.

I am so proud yet my heart is breaking.

Too cool for school, nah!
