she's in grade one.




So, today was the big day.


Payton had her first day of grade one. And she loved it. She was just so happy and excited and ready to GO. Can't you tell?









I am just so in love and so proud of this little girl. She is growing up so fast! Last night was spent getting her all polished up and ready for today...and I knew it would happen and I totally broke down before bedtime when I was hugging her goodnight. The tears came and I couldn't stop...I literally replayed her little life in my mind, and I was desperate for her to be a baby again so I could just cuddle and hold her forever. I felt so bad 'cause she started crying 'cause I was crying and then we were all laughing 'cause we were all crying...anyways...I think I will always want my kids to stop growing up, but it doesn't mean that I'm not excited for each and every thing they accomplish and do. Today was an awesome day and a new beginning for Payton.


The school year has officially begun.
