Dear Alexa,

You woke up this morning and told me "zero more days, Mommy", which means your countdown has ended and you are off to your first day of Kindergarten today.
You gave us a fashion show last night of all your new school clothes. I hung them in your closet all nice and neat. I'm hoping the outfit you chose for your first day will be warm enough. It's super windy and chilly today.
You'll have a great day. I hope you meet lots of new friends. You'll have to tell me all about Alexis, who you share your locker with. Your teacher, Ms. McCloskey, seems really fun. I'm sure she has tons of fun things planned for you this year.
You might be a little bit nervous stepping up onto that great big school bus (even tho you don't show it). But, that's ok. The first day is always a bit tough, not knowing what to expect. Soon you will know the routine and those butterflies will go away.
Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and love you very much. You are such a smart, strong and loving little girl. In the words of Dr. Seuss - "Kid, you'll move mountains!!"
Have a super fabulous 1st day of Kindergarten, Princess!! I love you!
Love,
Mommy

I wrote I Love You inside a heart on your hand and mine.
You'll always have my heart right there with you, whenever you need me..and I'll always have yours.
