Today was Chloe's first day of school. She woke up on her own, without me having to wake her up, and she was VERY nervous/excited. We were driving to school, and this is the conversation that took place...
Me: "Hey Chloe, can I walk you into school this morning?"
Chloe: "No mom, I know how to get in."
Me: "Well, can I at least walk you to your line?"
Chloe: "No mom, I know where it is."
Me: "Are you sure?"
Chloe: "Yes, I'll be fine mom."
When did my little girl grow up? She's such an independent little girl. Wanting to do everything on her own, and to be honest, it makes me a bit sad.
When we pulled up to school, she said, "Mom, you can take me to my line." "O.K., honey," I say, but secretly I wanted to jump up and down!! Needless to say, I cried. I thought that I was going to be fine, but once I saw her walking into the school, I just felt sad. Like my baby girl's really growing up.
As I was walking out of school, their were a bunch of moms on the sidewalk talking, and they saw the tears in my eyes. And I just looked at them and said, "What is my problem?" They just chuckled and said that they had been waiting a long time for this day! Maybe I'll feel like that someday, but for right now, I just feel a little sad that she's not here with me.
