Avery's big day 


Finally! The time has come for Avery to get her turn with Mrs. Huntsberger. She has been so patient. She went to school positively beaming. Her teacher totally recognized what she needed right away which was to show all the other "new" kids what to do next. She was so proud of herself and I of her. What a big girl! I left with tears, but not from sorrow as much as from tenderness. It must be so hard to have to follow in the footsteps of an older sibling. Especially one that is let's say not-so-much older... She finally had her day in the spotlight in a room that has been remodeled so it has some new stuff and a new place for the book bags.....something familiar but still all her very own.

Tomorrow will be the first full day for her which is 2 1/2 hrs long. I'm not sure how I'll feel about that.....tonight I can feel my heart-strings tugging and the threat of tears lingering not to far off. My baby is growing up and heading out into the world. She's so ready....which can only mean that I'm doing my job right thus far. Giving her wings to leave the nest.......

Have a great day tomorrow sweet girl......mommy loves you.
