so today. wow. (i still can't really get my mind around this little fact.)

was. what they call here. in the true heart of america. kindergarten round-up.

is little one really old enough to go to kindergarten next year? is this little peanut ready to be a super big girl and go to school?

am i old enough to have a kindergartner? well. ok. let's not answer that or even go there.

it was a little stunning.

walking into the elementary school. signing in. having her skip off with her "bestest friend" without even a glance back.

i love that she's so easy going. but so absorbent. she takes it all in. but enjoys herself. i've always loved that about her. i could tell from the second i saw her that she was going to be this way. i don't know how i knew. but i knew. and she is. she loves life. loves to be a part of it. and loves "kindergarten preschool" as she has started to call it. loved that they colored and played and sang songs. while we sat in too-little chairs in the library. but that was ok. i love the library.

wonders what color room she'll be in (preschool has rooms named after colors). if all her friends will be there (no. most will go to other schools.) if she goes tomorrow (no. not until fall.) if she can wear twirly dresses (somethings never change.) and if she can get a new backpack. (yes. of course.) ride her two wheeled scooter (no.)

it seemed like such a milestone for me. to have one going to school. i was a little choked up. and it was only round-up... what will i be on the first day?
