It happens to even the most non-chalant of us.

Yesterday we let Toria ride her bike to school for the first time. As per usual, the evening before we went overboard in safety and expectation instruction, but yesterday I saw her off...then walked around the corner and watched until she was out of sight...
Then waited on the doorstep beginning almost 5 minutes before school even lets out for her to come home.

Reminds me of the first day of pre-school.
...And the frst day she asked to walk into pre-school by herself.
...And the first day of kindergarten.
