Holy-Shmoly.

The day that Claire has been waiting for her whole life is here. We have been counting down the days to kindergarten since round-up last spring. She has been ready to go.

Until last night. During dinner she asked me if I would like to spend some time with just her since this was her last day before her first day. She said it like it was the last day she was to be a child....because when she woke up, she'd be grown up from then on out.

When we were reading and talking and tucking into bed she asked to talk about kindergarten.

Then she mentioned that maybe I could do "that homeschool thing" with her.

She was scared.

Now I don't see this girl scared very often. Sometimes I wish she would be more scared about certain things. This was some new territory for me with my Claire.

We visited and she agreed to try this kindergarten thing out for a day and then get back to me on what she thought. I am sure she is gonna love every second of it. But if not, I have approximately 6 hours to think of what to say.

Anyways, she walked right up to her line and, even though I could tell she was really nervous...She put on the bravest face I have ever seen from her. Ever.

When she walked through those doors I got this jittery feeling in my stomach. I cannot even begin to tell you how nervous I am on Claire's first day of Kindergarten. Maybe that "homeschool thing" isn't all that bad of an idea!
