Of course, it was a little bittersweet. I was sad to see her big enough to go to Kindergarten but, so excited for her. She has developed into such a little person. She is smart, beautiful and very strong-willed. When she began preschool in the fall of 2008, she was quite shy and timid. That is pretty much gone now, she is much more confident in herself (that gives us trouble sometimes ;) ), out-spoken and opinionated. She has also has a very tender,caring heart. I see this a lot lately when we are taken care of my 9 month old nephew. I can't wait to see how she uses this attribute as a big sister.

Posing on her first day. These were all her poses. I actually had to request a "non-pose" photo. Such a goofball!
All ready to head into class... 
....and after that summer growth sport, she's pretty close to the tallest in her class.
Sitting at her Table spot.
Running out happy as can be when the day was over.
