SCCCREEEEECCCHHHH....back up the preschool train!!!!

This is not my daughter.

 This is not my daughter who is not super proud of her Dora backpack.  and this is not my daughter that is not wearing an outfit she picked out weeks ago.  She is not wearing meticulously chosen jewelry for her first day.  nope. no shes not.

 this is not my daughter who packed and repacked her backpack all week.. This backpack does not have new inside shoes, nor does is it packed with a new lunch kit filled with yummy snacks.

 this cant possibly be my daughter running to her class so excited she cant even hold my hand in the hallway.

 this is definitely not my daughter ready, willing, and super eager to start her first day of preschool.

And I'M CERTAINLY NOT the mother scratching at the door for one more hug..nope. that doesn't sound like us at all....please excuse me while i finnish off my box of Kleenex. 

i may need one more....box.

PS: this is kinda a joke, I'm super proud of my newly independent daughter who was off playing with the other kids in 2 seconds flat.  She was so brave and did great on her first day She even had fun!! can you believe she is in school already?!!? where did this time go?? :) :) :)
