Well…it happened. Our lives changed forever this week. Ellie’s first ever day of school. She was nervous, she didn’t want me to leave her. But she didn’t cry. She was brave and tough, a good listener, and took her first day of school in stride. (I was not so brave and tough. But, after dropping her off, I made it to the car before I started to cry. I’m chalking it up as a win!) When I saw her coming out of the building at the end of the day with her little backpack on, clutching her giraffe, all wide-eyed and looking around for me…I almost started crying all over again. “I love school! School is fun!” she said before excitedly telling me every detail of her day. I’m so proud of my little squirt. She’s my hero.
