When my oldest was old enough to start school, life was pretty crazy. I had a two year old and one week old premature twins in the NICU. I sent Lindsey off to kindergarten with a smile and a sense of relief. A few years later when it was Jacob's turn I wasn't quite as enthusiastic but the twins were 3 years old and keeping me plenty busy. The only thing that bothered me was that it was yesterday that I had sent Lindsey off to Kindergarten and there she was a big 3rd grader. I just blinked and she was in third grade. I learned a true fact which is once you send you kids to school they grow up very fast!
So this year sending my babies to kindergarten was a big deal. Not because they would gone so much quite yet (they only go for 2.5 hrs so its a lot like preschool) but because I knew it means they are growing up and before I blink they, too will be in third grade! Oh my!
The girls have loved kindergarten. They are in the same class but don't sit together are both are very independent. The biggest fear I get is being late. They worry all morning about being on time (we have never even been late). Their individual personalities are really showing more too. Hailey has revealed herself to be a bit of a perfectionist and a worry wart. She wants all her work to be perfect and has even woke herself up at night worrying about it. Sydney doesn't seem to care but is more apprehensive about new experiences whether it be computers or a new friend. I have loved spending time with them each morning. It isn't lost on me that this time is finite and limited so we spend time having play dates and lunches and snuggling because after all I am going to blink and they will be in third grade.
My kids are all at the perfect ages I want to hit pause!
