Back to School!!!

Summer vacation is officially over! Sophie returned to school today with much excitement. Of course, I thought today would be an easy drop-off for me....this is her second year here, she loves her teachers, no nerves....well, I should never underestimate my sentimental side! Sophie ran off and played with her friends while I hugged her with a trembly voice and big tears in my eyes. I proceeded to bawl my eyes out when we left the classroom. It hit me like a ton of bricks this year, realizing my little girl is in her last year of pre-school, growing up so fast, running off with her friends...it was HARD. Just yesterday I was holding her in my arms and rocking her to sleep, changing her diapers and singing her lullabies. I pulled myself together by the time I got to work and was able to soak in the happiness my daughter is feeling. I arrived home this afternoon and couldn't wait to hear about my little girl's first day. The enthusiasm in her voice and the excitement in her eyes when sharing her day...that is what I will remember.
Can she be any cuter?

The answer is NO- to could she be any cuter under her school pic...and I remember her at 2 months, just the tiniest little thing. Doesn't see possible that she is almost 4.

Why is it so hard to see them grow up so fast? Where are the brakes, does anyone know?????
