My babies started preschool today, and without a tear shed from either of them, I might add....ok, so I got a little choked up for a second, but I didn't shed any tears. I was so proud of them for running to get on the bus and for looking so tiny next to it. They are big girls now, even though they will be my babies forever.

During their bus ride to school I was driving, hoping to beat the bus to their school so I could take pictures. It worked well, without even speeding. Once I got there, luckily I found their teacher right away (Ms. Angie, she's the best). She goes on like the helicopter parents aren't hovering, she's a pro! No, I didn't stay long, but I did watch them walk in a line to their classroom (of course snapping picture after picture). One mom stayed right with me as she walked with her daughter too....so no, I'm not the only helicopter mom out there. I just love my girls and I want them to know I'm proud of them and I want them to remember their first day as I will.

Waiting patiently for the bus to arrive!
