First Day of School

Well, I did it. I dropped my baby who isn't a baby any more off for her first day of school. Mommy had more tears than Savannah as far as I know. She held her head high, was confident, all smiles and went into Mrs. Decker's class like she knew exactly what to do. As a parent, I guess you have done your job if your child is secure enough and happy enough to leave you without a tear. I certainly felt much better leaving without tears. 6 months ago Savannah couldn't have done this and now she is a different girl. I am so proud of her. I can't wait to hear about her day at "Mrs. Decker" (that is what she calls school).
Here are the pictures leaving today... Off to school... All set
Pretty--she picked out her dress, shoes, and socks and wanted her hair in braids.
The real deal!

    Awww, what a big girl! You have to be proud of the little girl that Savannah has become! I got teary as I saw the caption about the plane...I'm a softie! Maybe it was a plane just like we all rode and there was an anxious couple headed toward their dreams? You just never know. Made me think back to March when we were preparing :) Thanks Savannah!!! Glad she had a great day!

    Quite the fashion plate! I did read in some magazine (Entertainment? People?) that braids are very "in" this season...
