When I was a little girl, the same age as you, I went to school, too.
I started out in a Kindergarten class, just like you.
And do you know what?
My Mama made me a dress, she made it herself, a special little dress for me to wear to school.
“She did? Where is it?”
It’s right here, this is the very dress that I wore.
And do you know what?
Your sister Gracie wore this dress on her first day of school, too!
Let’s try it on you.
Oh Sarah, it looks so pretty!
Do you want to wear it for your first day of school, too? Just like Mama and Gracie?
“No.”
Why not?
“It’s itchy.”
It is? I can fix that. What if you wear this pair of soft shorts underneath? Is that better?
“Okay. Can I wear my new shoes?”
Yes.
Mama’s going to miss you but I know you’re going to have a fun day at your school.
I love you.
Good to be Home 
That brought tears to my eyes.
so special, and she looks so sweet
that is so neat, Shanda.~
That is so precious!
And you are such a sweet Mama, even though this is very hard for you!
Oh how sweet,and so very special! Christina
So sweet, love the idea of you all starting your school years out in the same dress!
Love this! How special is it to still have that same adorable dress to pass down to your precious girls, Shanda!
Now their future holds the same treasured memory of their first day of school as yours did! 🙂
Love, love, love!
Enjoy your quiet time and hug her hard when she comes home. 🙂
