First grade

I really can't believe that I am writing this post. It just feels like yesterday I was coming with her in my arms, after having just delivered Catalina. How is this possible, that the tiny black eyed miracle I carried in my belly is "scolarita", or of school age (it sounds soooo much better in Romanian).
Catalina knows how to read and write, she knows how to add and subtract. She is smart beyond her years and beautiful beyond anything and everything. I watched her grow, but I am still in disbelief that I have a first grade daughter!

Days before the school started we found out who was her teacher. We had no idea who she was, but we decided we're going to like her. And when the morning of the first day of school arrived, we were all ready!

Per our tradition, we walked to school. It was harder for daddy who carried ALL of Catalina's supplies, but we were all happy. So, so happy and proud of our daughter.

We know how incredibly lucky we are, so we are not taking anything and any moment for granted.

Catalina is a big, confident girl now. She went with her teacher without looking back. She did well the first day and all of the other days after that. She will do well from now on too. We are just so, so grateful to have the chance of watching her!

Good luck, my love. Shine bright as the stars and let nothing stop you from achieving your dreams!
