The World's Cutest Kindergartener

Lillie had her first day of school today!  She had been waiting for this day for a VERY long time.  Eric was awesome enough to take a half day off to see his baby girl on her first day.  We walked to school and when we hit the grass of the school grounds, Lillie jumped out of the jogging stroller and said "Bye, love you Mom."  And was ready to leave us in the dust!  We didn't even know what classroom she was in.  Haha.
So, needless to say, she had no problem being a room surrounded by strangers. Okay, that's a bit dramatic, but I was getting a little choked up on the walk over thinking I was leaving my sweet baby in the hands of someone I know nothing about and was relinquishing all control over protecting her.  So glad that she's tougher than I.
I think she had a good day.  She said that she "played and learned a lot" and that the playground was crowded.  Oh and that she wished that we were at Disneyland instead.  Haha.  Lillie did lose her new jacket and so I think that kind of ended things on a bummer note, I hope it surfaces tomorrow.
I am glad that we've got 3 weeks of half days to ease me into the thought of school.  This has been a weird transition for me.  I know it's good for her but I don't like it.  Henry and I are going to miss her like crazy.  I love that smart and sassy little girl!
