First Day of Junior Kindergarten!

Addison's first day of Junior Kindergarten! She was very excited! Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Gouthro.                     
A new chapter is beginning...our little girl is growing up so fast...

Well, I finally did it! And it went fine!

Well, I finally did it; Addison has been calling me her "new mommy" for a long time now, so yesterday I started telling her the story of her 'first mommy'; she seemed mildly interested, but not traumatized in any way, which was my fear.  So this morning, after she gave me the first of many morning hugs, I asked her if she'd like to see a picture of her 'first mommy'.  When I showed it to her I asked if she remembered this lady; she showed no sign of recognition, but asked what her name was; then she said "she's brown like me"..."can I show her my bunny?"; I retreived her photo album, and placed the picture inside, so she can look at it whenever she wants.  I'm glad it's out, and she wasn't upset at all, just very matter of fact about it.  Phew!!
