Well, tomorrow is the big day...McKayla starts first day, and I am still in disbelief that I even have a first grader, let alone that it starts in 24 hours. I do know one thing, Mrs. Moser's class is lucky to have such a sweet, fabulous girl joining them this year...
McKayla is SUCH a great kid, and having her as my firstborn has definitely been a blessing. She is so grown up...not in an offensive way, but in a innocent yet bossy and confident way that is quite reminiscent of the way her mommy was... McKayla is a wonderful listener and a perfect big sis (most of the time!), never ceasing her self-appointed position to intervene for Korban when he is misunderstood or nervous. McKayla is empathetic, thoughtful, affectionate, intelligent, sensitive, creative, honest, hilarious, friendly, and magnetic. Her eyes sparkle like nothing I have ever seen, and call me biased, but she is definitely THE most beautiful girl in the world! She never hesitates to burst forth with the most manly laugh on the planet, and I hope it never changes. She is as big of a klutz as her mom and aunt are, and her hugs are the best thing on the face of the earth.
I am both excited and sad to see her leave for her first year of full-time school, and it is such a bittersweet moment for me! The time we are blessed to have raising our kids as they grow seems so short, and I feel like I am frantically wishing for time to slow so I can get all of life's lessons in before she is out of my grasp. McKayla's very bright, and her conscience is impeccable. I have no fear that she will always do what she feels is just and right, for her and her loved ones. I am so proud of the girl we have raised, and even though I remain a bit sad that she is no longer a baby, I excitedly look forward to seeing her become a young woman, becoming a friend and growing close. I can't even imagine the amazing gal she will grow to be!

I agree. And I'm sure she will someday realize the amazing mom she's got, too (if she doesn't already).
