I just dropped off my dear not-so-little-anymore Ellie at preschool. The girl was
beyond excited. She hopped in the van with confidence, and clarified that I was going to leave her there at school, and then Owen and I would be going home. When we arrived at her classroom, which, oddly is the same room that Josh had...different teacher, she barely stopped to pose for a picture. You can see her ready to get into the fun in the second shot here.
I didn't get a hug, or even a big goodbye.
As I walked back to the van with just Owen on my hip, I felt surprisingly light and happy. How wonderful to have a confident young lady in our house who is ready to take on new adventures. I can't wait to see her and hear all about her first day.
Go get 'em, girl!

Confident and Independent with a great smile on her face! I'm glad that was such a joyful experience! :)
you go girl. how fun that she is so ready and excited. I am anxious to hear all about her first day!
I am glad that you felt light and happy with just Owen. You'll have to teach me this art of letting go.
She looks very confident and happy... you're right.
I like how she's in the middle of taking off her backpack in the second photo. :)
Hurray for confident and independent. That is a strong woman in the making!
So thankful she felt so confident. It does help build confidence in your own heart.
Hope you enjoyed that special time with Owen - bet he loves it!
Hope her first day went well! I'm getting ready to travel down this path later this week. Sigh. Hopefully Ruthie will be as confident!
