and she's off...

My baby boarded the bus this morning for her first day of kindergarten. It was a joy to watch her march up the steps of the bus confidently and excitedly. She took the first seat (as recommended by big sis).

I must confess that I'm not the sentimental type when it comes to these things. I know there are probably moms bawling all over town this morning, but I always love each new phase and feel pure excitement for her and all that is ahead.
