Allison First Day of school!!

So I know I am a day late, but this mother is tired!! Yesterday I sent my first born to kindergarten. I remember the day we brought our pride and joy home from the hospital, it actual took two cars to get all the flowers and gifts I received home from the hospital and my loving sister obliged to foloow us home with them. We of course as new parents took the safest way home down a rural street to our home and drove past an elementary school. We drove by as school had been released and my darling husband mentioned can you imagine in 5 years we will be taking our daughter to school, and I sat back and imagined it. Well lets say what I had imagined those years ago was not as picture perfect as Allison first day of school but it was pretty close. Richard had to be at work in Eunice New Mexico at 6am and could not be with us and 5 years ago I did not envision my sweet Cooper into the equation. But we managed, as I pushed my lil guys stroller down the hall and held my sweet daughters hand, tears were already watering my eyes. I walked her in her classroom, told her to hang her back pack gave her a hug and pushed back a flow of tears (got to be strong, don't want to upset her) and told Allison sit down on the carpet and I'll pick you up when school is over. I hesitated she did not I walked away and looked back several times. As I pushed Cooper back to the car I am not ashamed to admit I cried and I cried in the car because well I am emotional like that! The day passed pretty quickly and I was excited to pick her up, and when she saw me her face lite up and we walked back to the car as she told me about her day and especially about the "handsome" boy in her class! WOW, my daughter is in Kindergarten!
