I absolutely cannot believe my 9 pound premie baby girl is already in kindergarten. Yesterday was her first day and she walked into Parkway School like she owned the place. We went to her classroom, she walked right in, found her cubby, put her things in it, and waved. She acted as though she had been doing it for years, though this is her first school experience. A little girl was in the doorway, clinging to her mom's leg crying. Abigail walked up to her, told her there was no need to cry, that she needed to put her things in her cubby and come with her. She assured her that mommies will always come back to get them and that they got to play and learn all day. I am amazed at how "grown-up" she is all of a sudden. She was a typical toddler just 6 months ago, now she has the confidence some grown-ups have yet to acquire. It is amazing to me how something that can break my heart can also bring me so much joy. How is it possible to be so sad and so happy at the same time? I did not cry...very close to it, but didn't. Aiden cried for an hour, "Don't take my sister away from me. I love my Abby, I want her come with me..." So, to ease his and my spirits, we spent the day in town having fun at the park, going to lunch at Dos Amigos with Mamaw and Auntie Ashley, shopping, and POOF! It was time to pick up Abigail. She said she loved school and cannot wait to go back. She brought home her first homework and has been wanting to finish it since she first sat in the car. I just hope the joy of homework will last! I am posting a few pictures I was able to take yesterday, so you can see my Abiagil Riley: Super Kindergarten Girl.
