Phew!! Nora's first day of Pre-K is behind us and all of us made it through. Honestly, Nora fared better than I did and if she was nervous, she didn't show it at all. We showed up early and sat in her classroom for a while before class. Then, when her teacher showed up, Nora was like "BYE!!" No fussing or fretting, just, "I love you, Mom. See ya later!" I have never been so proud and so broken up at the exact same time. There is just no feeling like it in the world. Here is this little girl of mine, who has been with me almost exclusively since birth and now here she is, so grown and so confident and out in the real world. Just recounting that feeling makes me want to sad/happy cry all over again.
I fiercely want to remember this day, forever and ever and ever. I want to recall how grown up, trusting and independent my little girl was. It has been one of the best days ever :) And to show her just how proud I was, she got the biggest hug ever and this little crocheted owl/egg (she picked out the pattern a while back). Words just can't sum up how I'm feeling today but it's something like the top of the world!!
