Bittersweet

Today was Ayla's first day of school.
She is officially in the first grade with Mrs. Brennan as her teacher.
Daddy dropped her off, which should be our normal morning routine.

I made a special breakfast with cinnamon rolls.
Everyone did a happy dance in the kitchen.

Look at how excited she is.
I still can't believe she is in 1st grade.

All packed and ready.

Off they go.
Dilann started to cry "I want my Ayla!"
She calls Ayla "hers". I love it.

This is the year that the real school memories start. 
That she will hopefully make lifelong friends.
That she will see just how smart, funny, kind, and strong she really is.

At least I didn't cry when she left.
