Today was Krissy's first day of Kindergarten. We were so excited, but a bit apprehensive at the same time... I was excited to have this experience with Grandma Dennae and Brittany, instead of strangers. I'm sure every (well, at least most) parents get a little weepy about sending their babies off to school, but the whole diabetes thing complicates it a bit more for me. You would think my own mother would understand that feeling since she also raised a diabetic...but, I guess not. She chuckled today when I told her that I cried. Yep, I did, in front of Brittany and Grandma and a bunch of moms that I don't know...but I was PROUD of myself that I hid it from Krissy. I somehow knew I would get emotional...and those of you who even, kind-of-sort-of-know me wouldn't be surprised a bit I'm sure!! And I am not even sad about her starting school, I am really excited...for me it's just one of those sentimental milestones that makes me realize that my babies won't be little for long. But my mission today was not to let Krissy see me cry and I did it!! Mission accomplished!! Krissy had such a great time at school and can't wait to go back tomorrow...she got pretty high marks from the teacher too! ;)
on the way in...you can see Kendall didn't want to let Krissy go either!
RUN! Can you say excited???
with Grandma!
hanging up the backpacks...
I was doing pretty good until this moment...it just struck me as one of the most bitter sweet experiences of my life. Kendall thought she was going to stay (she has NO idea she is 3 years younger than Krissy)! I was sad Kendall couldn't stay and sad Krissy was going to stay...how's that for messed up?
Britt insisted on the weepy eye photo.
After school...one happy Krissy and one proud momma!
Christian & Britt...our school buddies!
(can I just say again how happy I was to have you there!)
School kids!!
(We are oh, so proud of you!)

i remember my mother crying my first day of school...and in front of me. so, great job for not letting krissy see.
i went to schools with my cousins growing up and it was a priceless experience.
i love that pic of the kids running into the school...darling!
You already know how I struggle every year! I always somehow manage to hold myself together in front of the kids too, but it's so hard! What little cuties both Krissy and Christian are. Congrats on surviving the day!
Heather!!! You are too cute!! Krissy looks so cute. I am so surprised that you did as well as you did, I am sure when that day comes along i will have a hard time with it. I love that you have pictures to be able to remember the day. Krissy way to go!
Exciting times! I used to cry too when my kids entered Kindergarten. Those days are LONG gone!
i told you...you smile the whole way there and cry the whole way home! i love that she's got a buddy-and she looks so cute!
Is Grandma her teacher? How fun that must be for her!
Heather, It's Brandon. Nice work on letting the flood gates open. Hailey started Kindergarten on the 24th and we were like holy crap I can't believe we have a kindergartner. Hope all is well. Have a great week.
Oh what a fun time they are having! I can't believe our babies are in kindergarden already. It really does fly past. They are going to have an awesome year!

It was a bitter-sweet day for me too. It is going to be a great year, though! Krissy looks so cute!
So, so cute! They will have such a fun year and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to have your Grandma teach you. At least you know she's looking out for Krissy!
What a lucky girl to have a cousin and grandma right there! Who wouldn't be all smile! I cried too!
