Well, we made it.

Or, mommy made it would be a better interpretation.  Today was my "not so baby" baby girls first day of grade 1!!  She was excited, I was sad. :(  6 years and my darling hasn't been gone from me "all day, every day".  She was ready for the leap, I was ready to hog tie her to her bed, cuddle her all day, shed some tears and wish for time to stand still.  I can't believe how fast she has grown.  How fast time as zoomed by at the speed of light.  I've cherished every waking moment Ive had with her, and I will continue to cherish every waking moment I still have.  Once my baby, always my baby.

Alexis "the brain" Violante test at the top of her grade and was accepted into the 1/2 program this year.  We were very proud of her, although not suprised in the least.  She is placed with 3 of her very, very best friends (Bethany, Larissa and Chloe).  They will have so many fun challenges ahead of them this year and Im so excited to share this with her and watch her continue to grow and flourish like I know she will.

This school year brought so many firsts for my sweet little angel.  First day of Grade 1.  First day in school all day *le sigh*.  First day in her spankin' brand new school (they tore down the old school this summer and build a brand new, state of the art school with all the features of the future - lol).  There was the news and the paper and hundreds of spectators there this morning as the grand opening of the NEW Our Lady of Fatima opened.  We are so blessed for our baby to get to enjoy this school for her entire elementary education.  Not only are we fortunate enough for our school to be rated in the top 13 of ALL Ontario elementary schools (Public and Catholic, out of over 4 thousand), we are also blessed for her to get the top notch Catholic-private school education.  Top that with the cherry that is a brand new school, I would consider her one very lucky little duckling.

I got some wonderful pictures of the new school, and my baby this morning.  My battery is charging (died right after I clicked my last picture, thank goodness!) so they will be a smidge delayed.

So, for a picture i DO have uploaded already, here is my baby girls, first ever....school lunch!  You know me, on top of the ball lol.
And yes, her lunch is labeled.  Home made, full of goodness.  Even included a special note in her lunch bag to my baby on her first day.
Ok..I miss her already! :(
