Well today was the big day! Sierra was a trooper! She got all dressed for school and brushed her teeth while mommy took endless pictures. She seemed so grown up! I think she was too excited to even eat breakfast - her hungry tummy when I pick her up will change that tomorrow :). I cried when we left, but Steve took me out for breakfast since it was so early. I guess the early empty nest begins - wow! I miss her already!

She looks absolutely adorable...and so very excited! Too cute :) Tell us how the day went. I will cry so much myself. I am getting emotional thinking about it :*(

You guys look great! I love that family picture. You look so beautiful. You and Sierra look a lot alike in that one!

CONGRATS to you all! Where is Sierra going to school? Does she have to wear a uniform? You must have done a great job hyping her up for school for her to be so excited and happy about it. Is it all day or 1/2 day?

She loved her first day but cried when I came to pick her up. She didn't want to leave! Who would have guessed! All I heard about was my lack of snacks for snack time -well we raided Target tonight for some goldfish, etc. She has 2 boys at her table and met a friend named Mya. I am so proud of her making friends and getting so involved already. She was sad the teacher didn't pick her for a job in the classroom - too cute :0)

Jen, I know you've been anticipating this day, & I know how emotional it is too! Sierra looks so grown up & excited though -- I bet she's loving it!

Jen, I went through the same thing this year with Emma!!! I was so sad! I cried and cried! Pretty much most of the morning!!! Ugh! It was a long day! Why is we cry when they leave and they cry when we come? So sad!!! I hope it is going smoother and that you are adjusting...I still am working on it!
