I just can’t get away from it…one more post of my baby girl going off to Kindergarten. Last one I promise. She picked out her outfit herself.
To read more about her first day check out:
Well I sent her off, with NO tears! And I’m talking about from me, I knew she would be fine. My baby girl is officially a Kindergartener and she couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to find out how her first day of school was!
And since I’m one of THOSE moms, I got video too.
Today I send my baby, my first born, off to Kindergarten. I will take pictures and gush over how adorable she looks in her Hello Kitty T-shirt and pink Princess backpack. I will kiss her goodbye and her journey will start.
But this is not JUST the first day of Kindergarten. This is the first day of her educational career. Starting today she will say goodbye every morning Monday through Friday and head off to her classroom. During the summers I will get my time, but she will miss her friends. She will attend Kindergarten, Elementary School, Middle School, and High School finally leaving us for College.
Today starts her journey to learning and growing. This is the day that her life, and ours are changed forever.
I know I often overthink things but now when you see me wiping away tears as I send her in to her little classroom you will know why.
*I love you Peyton. You are such a strong and beautiful girl. I wish you the best today and know you’ll succeed far past anyone’s expectations*
The first day of school can be filled with many emotions. Mom’s breathe a sigh of relief, children are excited to see all of there friends, and teacher’s, well, they might be experiencing some anxiety 
But there is one thing that can start the year off right. A back to school tradition.
When I was growing up we would start each school year with our brand new clothes, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies but that isn’t all. My mom would make that first day back something special by taking us out to get breakfast before dropping us off. And not just any breakfast, Dough-nuts!
My sister’s and I would be all ready to go but not before making a stop at Wenchell’s (do they even have those anymore) and grabbing a delicious treat and milk. And of course taking pictures!
Last year was my daughter’s first year of preschool. I know, it’s just 
preschool, but we treated it as a big deal. We got new clothes, and shoes, and a backpack and before sending my baby off, on that very first day, we stopped to have dough-nuts for breakfast! It was so much fun to share such a simple tradition from my childhood with my daughter. I only hope I create lasting memories for her as my mom did for me.
So what are your traditions? Does your family do anything special for the first day of school?
