This is me...

this morning.

Why, you ask? Well, because of this:

Today, my baby started school!! I thought I would be more emotional. I was a bit weepy when Connor started school. Not because he was - in fact, he went right in, picked a book from the shelf and sat on the carpet, all the while grinning from ear to ear! I had tears in my eyes because I was so proud of him for being strong and independent.

Not to say this my little one is not independant.

Oh Lord, far from it! She knows exactly what she wants and what she doesn't.

Like taking pictures, for instance.

Not high on the list of her priorities this morning.

It was all about getting on the bus.

(Yes, I know - overexposed and a little blurry... but I was trying to get a shot before the driver closed the door!)

But even the most independant people need SOMEONE. And seeing as Little Miss A. has been as close to a fifth appendage as I could get, I thought she'd have trouble adapting. She looks a bit apprehensive as Mme. H. corrals them all and lines them up at the fence.
"Daddy..."
"Hmm, what's this? You have TOYS???" Utter chaos reigns. Kudos for Mme. H for being so calm and collected! And right in the thick of it, there was my little Princess, making sure that the teacher knew that she didn't bring a sweater this morning, but she had long sleeves. And she got new shoes.
'Cuz we ALL know that it's all about the shoes, right??
