you were filled with anticipation, not knowing what to expect.
on your last day of kindergarten,
you were so relaxed, the school day just part of your routine.
on your first day of kindergarten,
you wondered who your friends would be.
on your last day of kindergarten,
you were friends with every kid in your class!
on your first day of kindergarten,
your hair was cut in a cute little bob.
on your last day of kindergarten,
your hair came just past your shoulders.
on the first day of kindergarten,
you had me pack your lunch.
on the last day of kindergarten,
you packed your lunch all by yourself.
on the first day of kindergarten,
you had all of your baby teeth.
on the last day of kindergarten,
you had been visited by the tooth fairy five times.
on the first day of kindergarten,
you knew your numbers.
on the last day of kindergarten,
you can add and subtract your numbers.
on the first day of kindergarten,
you could write your name.
on the last day of kindergarten,
you can write short stories.
we have had many firsts by the last day of kindergarten. we are so proud of you! seeing you learn and grow is truly amazing! on the first day, you were my little girl. on the last day, you were my brave, confident kid! before the school year began, i couldn't picture what kind of kid you'd be---but this year has shown me what the next several will be like! and although it is a bit scary, i can't wait to see what else is in store for you!
