Samantha is in Kindergarten


Samantha started Kindergarten last week in an actual elementary school. Is it just me or are Kindergarten kids too small for elementary school? Today is her third day and she is a pro. They serve breakfast in the schools here for free so on her second day, she was ready to start that process... me, on the other hand, I wanted to wait a few more days until she had established some friends. So, I took her through the breakfast line and watched her help herself to toast and grits. I helped her find a seat, then left and thought... "when did she get so big?".

Today I took her to breakfast, watched her go through the line and help herself to toast, applesauce and cereal. We sat at the table and said our prayers, I gave her a kiss and left. Today was easier than yesterday. Tomorrow, I'll just get her into the line then leave. All these baby steps are for me more than her... she's fine. Why is it that they do so much better than us?
