Twas a wonderful full day of school. I didn't feel as sad as the last two years. But I did get a little teary eyed during Mrs. O's "see ya later alligator" song when she said "give a hug to your partner, Kindergartner"...that got me. I love her, and my Addie is in Kindergarten. Then I got choked up while reading about Kaya thinking of her sister who had been kidnapped 3 books ago and the stray dog that was leaving Kaya. My sentimental came out in strange places on my first day of school this year, that's for sure. I'm a blessed mama, a happy mama, a tired mama. Good night.
