They Grow Up Too Quickly

This is my one and only little lady.  She’s 5 and she will be starting Kindergarten in less than a month.  I’ve been dreading this day for the last year.  It’s finally set in that she will not be blessing me with her presence every day of the week.  She’s so ready to begin school and she can’t stop talking about it.  It really makes me thankful that she’s excited for the new venture.  I’ve been told that it is much easier when a child wants to go and loves to learn than if they would rather stay at home because they don’t like school.  Makes sense. I know she will miss me and her brothers during the day and we will miss her like crazy (I think her older, younger brother will be lost without her…they’re best buds…most of the time), but I also know that she’s going to make so many friends and learn so much.  She really loves to learn and I love that about her.  She kind of takes after me in that respect ;)  I loved school.  In fact, if I could afford to go to school forever, I probably would.  Anyway, I think I’m getting over being sad about her going to school.  I will still miss her dearly, but I am excited that she gets this opportunity and I want to be her biggest cheerleader.  I love the fact that she is a free-spirit and dances to the beat of her own drum.  I hope she never loses that and will always be head-strong.  She is super smart and is always up for a good challenge.  She is not afraid and totally fearless when it comes to trying new things.  Love her.  She really is my favorite girl in the whole world.  I mean, just look at this outfit she put on and wore around the house on Saturday morning. How could you not want to eat her up?  Future designer maybe?!  ;)
