And Caroline's Life changes again

[puppetmaker]

Today is Caroline's first day in Kindergarten. I am full of mixed emotions about it. I am happy and excited for her but I am going to miss having her around the house. For the first 5 years and 8 months of her life, she has had both Mommy and Daddy around the house. Now I hand her over to the larger world to teach her and for her to play in without me hovering. I think she is ready for it. I am not quite sure I am.

I am grateful for the time I have had with Caroline so far and look forward to this new adventure with her.

I get seriously weepy over firsts; they are full of joy, but also made more poignant when I think of how I nearly gave up on living.
It was Bree's first smile that made me appreciate just how much I had to live for during my severe post-partum depression, so whenever one of our kids does something for the first time, I think about that day, and how I would have missed out on so many first times...

I'm thankful every day that I became a mom, despite the challenges that it brings.

Oh, and congratulations, of course, to Caroline! ^_^
