The countdown is on now. 11 more days. That’s how many days we have left until Macey starts Kindergarten. Big kid school. No more preschool that begins at 9:30am and ends at 12:30pm. She will have longer school days – beginning at 7:55am and ending at 2pm. She will be able to ride the bus. She will carry a backpack and some days a lunch box. This is a big deal to our big girl, of course. For Mickey and me, it’s just surreal. Seriously, how can it be that our firstborn is this age already? How can she be ready to go into the world of elementary school? Wasn’t she JUST born? Didn’t she just take her first steps? These days her steps are usually running, skipping or even “tumbling” as she has taken a shine to turning flips all over the house. These days she rarely takes a nap and is eager to do chores on her own. This is the girl that never wanted to be apart from mama and daddy as a baby and is now going to swim parties and is talking about sleep-overs (though she has yet to participate in one). The girl that simply thought Baby Einstein was the coolest thing ever now watches Hannah Montana and loves High School Musical. And, in eleven days she will officially be a Kindergartener. Where has the time gone?!
Where did the time go when you where just like Macey? I am proud of you Sis. You are a great momma.
