Dakota's 1st Day of Kindergarten

After a lot of begging and crying (all from me), Dakota headed into her classroom for her first day of Kindergarten.  I can't even tell you how emotional I have been over this.  I have been begging her (and only half joking) her to stay home for at least another year.  It isn't that she will be away from me.  I have spent time apart from her.  It's that this is a big step in her life.  It's the beginning of a new chapter in which I get demoted from costar to supporting character.  I'm happy that she is growing up and experiencing new things.  I am sad that she is growing up so fast!

A few pictures:

She is SO gorgeous!
