First Day of School

yup, we have a first-day-of-school-er.
our youngest is starting today.
and we couldn't be prouder. 

here's her preschool graduation photo.
doesn't seem that long ago.
only 1995.

today in a state far away from her home
she will be in a class of 21 kids.
i know there is some nervous energy for all of them.
first days can be scarey.
it's uncharted territory,
a thing you've never done before.
will they like me? 

that ole' fear of the unknown.
especially for the teacher.
i reminded her she just needs to be kind.
besides that....
she does know more than they do!

happy first day of teaching darling daughter.
