The day has finally come, I am now a mom of a Kindergartner, How did that happen?? This feels like a graduation day. I am as excited today as I was on Anvesha's first day of preschool. The last 5 years have been filled with so much parenting intensity. There's been joy, exhaustion, love, self doubt and all the roller coaster of emotions that go with the early years of parenting. I have survived the sleep deprivation, tried to keep my patience during those terrible twos, managing the ups and downs of potty training and now I have a 5 year old who hardly resembles that little baby we brought home years ago,
So on the first day of Anvesha's Kindergarten, I decided to gift her a book called, "Oh the places you'll go" by Dr Sues. I had earlier thought of getting her this book on the last day of preschool, but today was the right time to gift her this book since she is starting a new journey.
Here's a small message for Anvesha on her first day of Kindergarten,
To my sweetest girl Anvesha,
Today is your first day of Kindergarten, Your backpack is packed, your new lunch box is set to go and snack box is ready too. You are so excited to carry your brand new Elsa backpack- and yes this is the one that lights up:) You are a big Elsa fan. You wanted to save your light up Elsa shoes for your first day of school too. In a way it took us forever to get there, but in another I can't believe you are starting your BIG school.
I hope that as you start school, your exuberance doesn't wane. Your curiosity is going to get you so far and help you move past things that are difficult for you. It's 11.30 AM and I know you will be at school eating lunch. The house suddenly feels so quiet and I am not liking it one bit. I cannot wait to see you when I come to pick you up this afternoon. I wonder what you'll be thinking and feeling sitting in that big seat. I hope you are having a great day and participating in class. I can't wait to hear all the stories from school today.
Your first day at Kindergarten is a big deal for me too. You're my little girl, but this is the beginning of your big girl life and even though you are ready, I am not sure that I am.
