The school day starts early, so to help things move along in the morning, I made a picture-checklist of "things to do before school." It included: eat breakfast, get dressed, brush hair & teeth, put on shoes & socks, and load backpack & lunchbox into car. Selby took it seriously, checking things off as she got ready.
My big girl was all smiles, all morning. The whole family accompanied her to her classroom where she got settled right in - and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
As for me, I choked back a few tears in the parking lot. However, I couldn't help but smile as I watched my girl fly from my arms, like a bird from its nest, soaring fearlessly into her future on a path all her own. And I know, in my heart, that her flight will be so very sweet.
