I used to be little, but not anymore.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to school — it's the first time for me
It's great to be big, but I'm scared as can be.

My tummy's in knots. Do you want to know why?
I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, I'll cry.

When Dad leaves the school and I'm there all alone,
I'm thinking that maybe I'll want to go home.

But wait — Mommy said I'll play lots of new games
and meets lots of friends — I can learn all their names.

The first day of school, oh there's so much to do~
There's painting and books and a big playground, too!

I used to be little, but not anymore.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.

I'm going to school — It's my first day, you see.
It's great to be big! I'm so glad that I'm me!

Here is a picture of the bird that hit the tour helicoptor,
yesterday, as it was heading to the Grand Canyon:

You can see it better if you click full screen.

Pilot and six English tourists were VERY lucky to survive.

Love that, yorkie. I still remember my very first day of school and standing outside the classroom crying because I was so scared. My teacher tried to console me by letting me choose which desk I wanted. Gads, I was a crybaby! :)

That is so precious, yorkie...I can remember that terrible lump in my throat all day long until I knew “my baby had made it”....we all go through that, don’t we? Where have all those years flown so quickly?

I was always a room mother so I could be involved with all their little trips, etc. Like the song “Funny, how time slips away”...something like that! Love that song too. I can’t think of many songs that I don’t like.
