Abigail

Today is a big day at our house. Abigail started first grade. At a new school. Knowing no one in her class. I've been full of anxiety over it since we made this decision last Spring. Abigail's also been full of anxiety. Last night I crawled in her bunk with her, snuggled with her and sang to her while she fell asleep. She had so many questions about today and I just wanted her to quiet down and sleep so she was rested. She was up in the night for probably about 2 hours total, so I'm glad we got her to bed early. We've been having some anxiety struggles with her lately and some days have been really tough. However, every day I look at her and my heart gets tight with all the love I have for her. She's grown up so much in the past year, even just over the Summer. She's not a litle kid anymore, she says "grown-up" things that crack me up, she's smart and she's a joy to be around. I love her so much and will honestly miss her while she's in school every day (but will enjoy my time with Henry and Johanna too!). I can't wait to pick her up today and hear all about her first day!
