The tyke had her first day of kindergarten today.

We were watching some home movies the other day, videos from when Zoe was one, two, three years old. It’s amazing to watch these moments from just a few years ago and to see just how much she has grown up. I can still see traces of the baby and the toddler when I look at her, but the kid we sent off to school today is so much more.

The first day of school seems to have gone well. When I asked her what her favorite part of the day might have been, the answer I got was “all of it.” And I’m pretty sure she meant it. The pride on her face when she revealed that today she was the designated door holder was a thing of beauty. I can’t wait to see what other new experiences excite and inspire her in the coming days.
