Faith’s first day of kindergarten

She did it!  Faith started kindergarten today!  I know that everyone says it, but it is so true, “I can’t believe my baby started kindergarten.”  I didn’t cry this morning.  There were times when I could have cried, but suppressed the urge.  On the way there I prayed out loud for her and that made me cry.  When I saw my friend Lynn and her daughter Velina at school I could have cried.  I also cried when I told Tom about how Lynn and I prayed for our girls and their school after we dropped them off in the classroom.

What makes me sad is that things are changing and will never be the same again.  Faith will grow up so much this year.  She won’t be so dependent upon me and she will be more knowledgeable about the world.   She isn’t my little baby anymore and now it is official.  That is what makes me sad.

After school I picked Faith up from school and she said that “it was fun.”  Sadly she said that she didn’t make any new friends and that she played by herself on the playground.  That part broke my heart, but she seemed to be okay with it.  I told her that she will have plenty of new friends before too long.

I feel very blessed to be able to send her to that school.  The teachers pray for the kids each day and specifically for Faith on Tuesdays.  I am glad that she had fun today and is looking forward to going back tomorrow.  She has already had homework – cutting on the lines.  Tomorrow begins the second day of our new routine and new phase of life.IMG_1624
