First Day of Kindergarten!

So I was very excited about my little one starting school. I made sure she had a well balanced lunch to take with her. I even wrote a little message on a napkin saying, "I Love you and hope you have a GREAT day at school. Love, Mom". (She can already read and write simple words).
I was very nervous that entire day. I was thinking of the thousands of things that could go wrong. Maybe she would get lost or might have an accident because she was too scared to ask the teacher to go to the bathroom. What if the other kids were mean or taught her a dirty word. Okay I was a mess all day long!!!
I was SUPER ready when the time finally came to pick her up, she came out of the gym and saw our car and waved with the biggest smile. She climbed in and talked and talked the entire time home about how cool school was.
The whole reason for me to pack her lunch was so that she could watch and see how the other kids got their hot lunches and not feel overwhelmed on the first day. My poor child got a little confused. She took out her sandwich drink and napkin and left the rest of her lunch in her lunch bag in her backpack in the classroom. The teacher ended up getting her a hot lunch since she didn't have the rest of her lunch with her.
So we get home and she tells me about her day and what fun she had. Then out of the blue she shouts, "Oh, I got your message". I hadn't expected her to save the napkin, but she did and pulls it out of her bag. Then she flips it over and between the pizza stains she wrote, “Mom I love you to I had a great day". I just sat there and hugged her and cried. My baby is growing up and I miss her already.
