[guitar man]

It's my daughter's first day of school today....she's growing up so fast :cry:

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. She is just too cute! Enjoy her while she's still little *hugs* (Enjoy her when she's big, too.)

[lizziegrace]

2. Awww...

She'll always be daddy's little girl, no matter how old she gets.

:hug:

[Tikki]

3. She sure is a beauty....

Off to school...Think of all the marvelous things she will learn
and share with you.

4. Aw, so sweet and pretty!

Don't worry, she'll be fine.

[driver8]

5. What a little cutie!

My daughter is going into THIRD GRADE! this year -- seems like yesterday she was starting Kindergarten.

People always told me that "Time flies once you have kids"...that is the absolute truth!!

[mzteris]

6. She's adorable!

And you're right - they grow up way way way too fast. :(

[femmocrat]

7. Oh my goodness, what a cutie pie!

Just think of all the exciting things she will tell you about her first day! Treasure every moment. :hug:

[SCantiGOP]

8. Warning

She may be cute now, but she is genitically programmed to turn into a teenager. Enjoy it while you can.

[guitar man]

15. la la la!!

I can't hear you!! (fingers in ears) :D

[Demoiselle]

23. Teenagers really aren't so bad.

They can be really sweet and fun. (I've survived three teenagers.) Just remember they really are the adorable little kid you knew, they've just been temporarily kidnapped by their hormones..
She is absolutely beautiful, guitar man. Enjoy.

[seabeyond]

29. teenagers.... pfhhh. piece of cake. nt

[guitar man]

9. thanks everybody

Having y'all here for support really means a lot :)

It was hard knowing she was headed off to her first day with me stuck 100 miles away at work. I can't wait to get home tonight so she can tell me all about her first day. :)

[LaurenG]

10. They do grow up quickly.

What an adorable child you have going to her first day of school. :hug:

[Deep13]

11. I like imagining what little kids will look like as adults.

The basic shape of the face is already there.

[libodem]

12. so pretty

What a beautiful child.

[Taverner]

13. Awwwwwwww 2cute

[redwitch]

14. What a great face!

And yes, first day of school is huge. Hang in there brother!

[Callalily]

16. Awwwww . . . what a charmer.

As stated above (and I know you know this), enjoy your daughter at each stage in her life.

Just as a fyi - my daughter grew up to be a scientist. On walks she used to put rocks in her mouth. Oh yes, she's a geologist - did I mention that? LOL

[ceile]

17. So precious!

It'll get easier, dad.:hug:

[carlyhippy]

18. Enjoy, the years will fly by, trust me

before you know it, she will be graduating high school, it truly feels like time flies in the blink of an eye.

[guitar man]

19. School daze!!

Time to go inside :)

[Capn Sunshine]

20. That is just too cute for words

As everyone has said, enjoy them while they're little. It goes by so fast. SO FAST.

My little princesses are both in the 30's and career girls. It was just yesterday they were toddling off to their first days at school.

Oh one thing: you know when they start asking you for money? That never stops. The amounts just get larger. :)

[snacker]

21. Oooohhhhh...

she looks SO sweet. Go ahead and cry...the first day of school is a big milestone!

[Call Me Wesley]

22. Next stop: College!

;) I don't have kids, but my niece hovers over me already, and I remember just to have changed her diaper while babysitting ... Time flies.

[handmade34]

24. Awww... you can cry a little

She is such a sweetie and it is so difficult to watch them grow up.

This is my youngest who started his first day of school 16 years ago and I still cry when I have to leave him... :)

[abq e streeter]

25. I'm sure I don't have to convince her daddy of this, but she really is adorable.

[proteus_lives]

26. Awwww. Adorable.

Good luck to you and her!

[sarge43]

27. What a chamer.

How's she handling Birdie's passing, guitar man? You said they were best friends.

[applegrove]

28. Adorable.

[guitar man]

30. Thanks everybody

Each and every one of you for all the replies, the great compliments and all your support. It was a really busy day for me, which helped me to get through with a minimum amount of blubbering. It's just been a really emotional time for me lately, so many changes all at once. I don't think I would make it through without all of you :)

[DFW]

31. Take LOTS of pics!!

I remember the day our eldest started school. Such a big occasion.

At this very moment, as coincidence would have it, she's sitting on a couch about 5 feet from us, visiting
us in a house hidden in the dunes of Cape Cod. She is now 27. The time flies faster than Haley's Comet.

Savor every second!

[kimi]

32. Oh my goodness

She is beautiful!!

I always wanted at least one daughter, but I had 5 sons, and I adore each and every one. But oh my goodness, have you been blessed, guitar man.

Yes, you should cry.

I certainly would.

I think I will, on your behalf. I hope you have many happy school memories with her!!

[KT2000]

33. Oh - how cute!

She looks ready to go - she will have lots of stories to tell you very soon.

34. Watch out for 2020=--

35. Driving around in cars with boys.....My brother adopted twin girls when they were 8...

they are now college age. When they were 14, he wanted to lock them up till they were 30 or so; realising it was all out of his control, he became very religious instead...you may have an interesting future.

All the best...
