She headed off for her big girl adventure without me today.
Her sister was nearby to help and guide her along the path to a whole new world.
But I was the one being left behind as they got on the bus and waved goodbye.
It's hard for me to imagine that this little person who sometimes seems like such a snuggly little baby girl is really a big 5 year old who can handle herself with ease and has so much spunk. When I asked her yesterday if she thought she might need me to help her get on the bus, she answered very matter-of-factly..."mommy my legs aren't broken". And she was right. She is fully capable of making all of these first big steps into the world without me.
