Her brothers were sorry to see her go. Nate told her that she should tell her teacher that she misses her brother. Last night when he prayed for her first day of school he said he would miss her. That boy loves his big sister. Who can blame him?
We went to the new house to take a few pictures. I want to get first day of school pictures every year next to this particular tree. I figured I had better start with Kindergarten, even though we aren't living there yet.
She was cool and confident as I dropped her off at her classroom. And the big news is: I didn't cry once this morning. I've been thinking about her almost non-stop, and I expect I will until I pick her up and ask all about her day. I am so proud of her and excited for her as she begins this new journey.
So, in honor of my little girl starting Kindergarten, here is one of the sappiest songs in the universe for Music Monday. And by the way, as I was listening to it just now about to post it, I negated my no-cry comment from above. There are tears streaming down my cheeks right now.Let Them Be Little by Billy Dean (2005)

oh my gosh - she looks like such a "big" girl in her school outfit! Wow - I can't imagine how this milestone must feel :) I hope she had a great first day!
Ava looks so cute! Hope her first day of school is wonderful!
Ava looks so cute! Good idea about the pictures by the tree. And I hadn't thought about Nate missing her too, but I'll bet he does. I remember my mom saying that there was a little adjustment period for my brother when I started school.
Geez, Becky! You and your stupid make-me-cry song! I'm bawling like a baby! And my kids won't start kindergarten for years! But I know it'll be here before I know it! After all, the last time I saw Ava she had just learned to sit up! And that was when, last week? And look at her now! So big! You're doing a great job by the way! Hang in there! At least ALL of your children didn't start kindergarten together!
Those are great pictures! It goes so very fast!!
I'm waiting to hear how it went!
Yes, please update us on how the week is going. She looks beautiful and so happy. I think it is so sweet that Nate misses her. I wonder if Blake will feel the same way when that day comes. :)
