{K} is for kindergarten

well, i did it.
i made it through the send-off to kindergarten.
my baby girl is now a full-time {5 days, all day} student.
but, since this post is not about a mama who just doesn't want to let go i will stop.

ella was completely over the moon with excitement today.
last night she carefully lined out all of her clothes from the bows on her head all the way down to her ruffle socks.
she got to choose her breakfast this morning...dry cereal with a side of almond milk {a new addition in our household due to riley's allergies}.
her choice of song in the car ride to school..."i got a dream" from none other than the tangled soundtrack. perfect.
she jumped right into line without even glancing back. no tears for this kiddo. i guess she was ready.
i was pretty proud of myself and my ability to keep it together.
i am sure the distraction of the hungry baby on the hip and the three year old who insisted she ride in the stroller had nothing to do with that.

ella bella, we are so proud of you. i just can't believe how much you have grown up. you are an incredible girl. i pray that God will watch over every precious little footstep you take. i ♥ you to the moon and back.

I am seriously crying right now. UGH! So cute. I will have a few more days than you....Kyla starts on the 9th. And we are only 1/2 day. I can't believe it! :)

This made me cry! I dread the day....Great shots thought. And what a great job you have done, she is so confident in herself and ready to go.
