Confidence x 2.
off off and away. fly my little chickadees. fly. of course, miles is used to this..him and his crew were off and running to catch the bus and made nothing of the morning. now, my girl. my challenge. my partner. how will she re-act? more importantly, will I be ok? well, we parked the car. she said I didn’t even have to walk her across the street, that she would be ok on her own. I asked her if it was ok to walk her to her classroom and meet her teachers, I got the ok. In we went, and away she flew. with a quick hug and she told me “i’ll be ok mommy, i’ll miss you, but I’m going to have fun” and that was that. My BFF called to see if I was ok, and I was. She asked if I had cried, and well.. no. I tried… I really did. I squeezed my eyes really hard together to try and make some form of condensation leak from them, didn’t happen. I came home, went for a run and now I’m going grocery shopping before her first day is done. Their confidence amazes me.. one proud mama here.

The fact that she was ready to go and take flight without any hesitation just shows what a great job at being a Mom you are.
Although, I still cry the first day of school.

CONGRATULATIONS on your (their) first day of school! Oh, the things you’ll accomplish during those 2 hours of quiet, alone time
