First day of 4th grade for Kyla

Kyla had her first day as a 4th grader this past week. She is growing so fast and I must admit it is a little bittersweet. I feel like I blink my eyes these days and she has grown. Kyla was excited to have her two very close friends Kayla and Morgan in her class again this year! I had to settle for a few pictures before leaving for school because Kyla wasn't thrilled about me following her to line up with her class like a paparazzi as I would have loved to. She sweetly said, "that's okay mom, just drop me off and I will go and find my friends". We spend all this time wanting them to become independent, giving them the tools as parents to become independent... only to experience the feeling being a little crushed at these moments when they show you that they are independent.
