More difficult than Kindergarten




Wow it's been a month... BAD Blogger!!!




Well today was a turning point for Miss Kenedey. She started her first day as a sixth grader in Middle School! She was beyond excited, nervous, anxious all in one!




It was bittersweet as I watched her load the bus this morning and that bus pull away from home. I think it was more tear jerking than her going off to Kindergarten was. I think when she was in Kindergarten I was just so excited that she was excited about her independence and not clinging to mom that I was so elated she did so well then.




But today, she was so happy... and so grown up. :-( I'm beyond proud of that little girl, but she's just not a little girl. I remember so much about 6th grade myself and I know that's coming for her too. She got right up and showered this morning, applied deodorant, did her OWN hair (then thankfully asked me to help her get the pony tail higher)... thankfully for my own reasons... she really can't do her OWN hair can she?! Once again, bittersweet! She does it all herself, and I just sit and wait for her to come out and show me how cute she is!




She is such a little Sheri and got all dressed up for her first day! She really did look cute. Sorry the pics aren't the greatest, the lighting sucked, it was foggy out.
