School Days

Devri started kindergarten yesterday, it was a very bittersweet day for me. I am so excited for her to learn and see her grow into her own little person, but at the same time, I don't want to see her grow up. She was so excited and a little nervous. She wasn't sure she wanted to ride the bus to school, but decided to at the last minute. Then I raced the bus to school to make sure she got into her class ok and when she saw me she said, "Mom, I'm so glad I rode the bus- that was fun!" The 3 hours she was at school were complete torture for me, I kept wondering if she was having fun, making new friends, if the kids were being nice, if she missed me. Then when I went to pick her up from the bus stop after school, I was so relieved to see a big smile on her face! She ran to me and gave me a big hug- whew! She did miss me and she did have fun! I made her cupcakes while she was at school (her favorite), so she could have a treat to come home to and when she saw them she got the biggest smile I've seen in a long time and jumped into my arms and said "Thank you mommy! You're the best mommy in the whole world!" - That totally made my day! I am so thankful for this little cutie pie and look forward to what the future holds for her! I love you Dev!
