The 1st Day has Come

She didn't see me cry. 

It took every bit of power I had in me, but she didn't see me cry...

My Beautiful Girl started her first day of Preschool today.  I am so proud of her.  She was ready and excited and ran right out to play as soon as we got there.  I had to hunt her down on the playground to say "Goodbye"!

And then I went back to my car and cried like a baby.

We took some pictures before we left.

Today is the First Day of Preschool.  It's not anything new for Jocelyn to go to a class without me, she's done it many times before, so she's just fine!

I'm the one with the problem.  I look at my baby going into school and I know that this is the first of many "Goodbyes" to come.  She's getting older and no matter how much I wish I could keep her to myself forever, I know I can't.  I know today wasn't just a "Goodbye" for this afternoon, it was a "Goodbye" to the days where I am the only one she will look to for help and support.  It is "Goodbye" to the days when I am the only one that can give her what she needs. 

I guess I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm still the first and I'm still #1 to her.

She sure is #1 to me. 

I love you Sweet Jocelyn!
