Picture Day!

My daughter is having her first school pictures today.

Wow. That is a scary thought.

But ever the prepared mom (ha!), I packed an extra shirt and a hairbrush in her backpack this morning in case she gets a bit of food on her at lunch. :-)

I can't wait to see them.

She also drew a picture for her teacher last night - in fact, she drew the entire kindergarten classroom. It was so adorable. I should have scanned it into my computer before she took it to school today.

This just reinforces the notion that she's doing just fine in kindergarten. Yes, there were a few tears that first day, but she's over it now. But I'm not quite sure that I am. I still tear up whenever I see her carrying her backpack. She just looks so darn little to be going to school! Where did the time go?

I filled out her first Scholastic Book Order last night. Do you remember those? I used to love bringing them home and scanning the pages, then begging mom to let me get "just one!" book. And the day they arrived at school, it felt like Christmas.

In Writing News...

Not much to report. I didn't work on anything last night. Well, that's not entirely true. I have an article that's going to be published in a history magazine and I needed to correct a few details in my footnotes. And while I was at it, I tried to research a particular issue in my current manuscript. Since my hubby and stepson are going to a friend's house to watch football tonight, maybe I'll get some writing done. :-)
