Mazie's First Day

Ok, does Mazie look like she is more than 6 1/2 years old or is it me? Jamming to whatever Hannah Montana song she had her in head all the way to school and not even noticing the rest of us were with her.

I didn't think today was going to be hard for me. She was going to school, like last year, only for a whole day. Not a big deal, right? When she walked away from me to get in line with her class and didn't look back until we were already on our way down the little grassy hill and then waved at me, I thought to myself, "there goes my big girl-not needing me like I want her to or she used to". Here she is insisting I don't take yet another picture of her. "Please, mom, you're embarrassing me" (at 6 already?)

I was very shocked that tears were streaming down my face on walk home. I tried very hard to not let Jamie see because I didn't want her to be upset tomorrow. Oh, great, I have to do this again tomorrow?
