KooKooNoodle

My baby is all grown up.  Today was Chloe’s first day at nursery school and it was amazing to watch her go.  There was no trepidation, no nervousness, and there were definitely no tears.  In fact, the minute we got to school, she ran inside, never looking back.  Eventually, I had to find her so I could say goodbye.  “Honey, I’m leaving now.” “Ok, bye.” And with that, she ran off into a whole new world.

When I came to collect her, she was covered with paint, barefoot, and had her pants rolled up and sandy from playing in a giant wet sandbox.  “Mama, I had a good day!”  Ah, music to my ears.  I was proud as can be of my little adventurer.   She was exhausted tonight and painted a single picture at the kitchen table for 45 minutes.  I’ve never seen her concentrate on something for that long.   The first of many new facets, I’m sure.

Oh, my little girl, I love you so.
