<p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">The new super spectacular shoes bought for her first day of Kindergarten may have been a tad too big.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But a quick wardrobe change to a pair of shoes she wore last school year did the trick.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And then we were off… to sit in traffic… for minutes… minutes past the time we were to be there.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But no worries… because the gates were still closed 10 minutes after we arrived. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Parents crowded around. Waiting.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Taking photos.

		</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Then walking.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Walked into the cafeteria and she lost her voice.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Shy.  Yes, Natalie.  Didn't even say her name.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Shy when she went into her classroom and had to choose a table to sit at and color.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I left her to get to know everyone before I had to be asked to leave.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Like the parent who came with a professional photographer. Or the videographer.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Didn't forget my boys also had a good first day. New shoes. Trip to the park. What else could they want?
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">School's officially back in session for everyone. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I see a lot of organizing in my future because my schedule has gotten pretty busy.  And that's before the play date requests come in.
