Emily's 1st day of school.

My baby girl started school. I can't believe she is already 4! Emily was so excited to go to school. I was not as excited about my girl growing up. James was able to go into work late so he could go with Brandon and me to take Emily. Once we got to her school we walked to the playground and her teacher came over and introduced herself to Emily. We took Emily to her classroom to hang up her backpack, then we went back outside and got her name tag. Then Emily went to look for her friend Gracie, she found her and they were so excited to see each other. We watched her play for a little while, then we started to leave. Emily ran over to us and she asked us where were we going to be while she was in school. I told her we were going home and I would pick her up after she eats lunch. Her little eyes filled with water and she said trying not to cry OK, then she turned around and went back to playing. By this point I was trying not to cry. Once we got home James left for work and Brandon went down for his nap.I was all by myself, it was so sad I began to cry. I was so sad that my little girl was growing up. When I picked her up she was so happy to see me. She was so excited to tell me about school, she loved it! The teacher said she was a great girl. A little shy, but had a great day. Just wait till she gets to know Emily better, she will talk her ear off! So Emily was in school for two days and got sick. I guess I really never let her be exposed to germs!

INCREDIBLE! Even for me, it seems like she was born yesterday. She looks beautiful and I know the teacher will cherish her- just like I do! Thanks for sharing!
