first day of school

anna was so excited to start kindergarten.
she jumped out of bed this morning and got dressed without complaining (much).
she watched me excitedly while i packed her lunch.
she ran to the bus stop with all the boys.




and she almost hurried onto the bus without giving me a kiss goodbye.


my baby girl is now officially no longer a baby.
she's a big kid, a bus rider, a kindergartner.



and i'm heartbroken.
boo hoo.
big time.

josh happily skipped off to second grade this morning too.
he's been a big kid for a while now.
he's very tired, hungry and cranky this afternoon though and all he wants to do is snuggle with mom.
gladly.
extra snuggles might just help my achy heart.
