Yep, it is true. Today is Hazel's first day of Kindergarten. So hard to believe that we have reached this monumental day in our lives. She woke early, so we had plenty of time to get ready. She, who usually takes forever and a day to eat a meal and get moving, was dressed, hair combed, and breakfast eaten by 7:05! We were out the door at 7:30 and walked with her buddy, Coleman, to school. They walked, ran, jumped all the way there. It was a jumble of energy at the school, but the best kind. All happy faces around. Hazel got right to her desk, put her name tag on, put her picture up on the "question of the day" board (today, "are you excited about kindergarten?" Yes of course!), and got right to work coloring a picture. Very proud to tell us how well she was staying in the lines! She was smiles, no tears. Gave a thumbs up as we said our goodbyes. No tears from Mama, Daddy said he had to hold back some at one point. But now as I write this and look at the pictures, and not hear her little voice in the house, tears are streaming down my face. So amazing how one little person can fill your heart. She is amazing, while amazing me every day! Go Hazel, we are soooo proud of you!!
