School? Really? Already?

Oh my word! Natalee is starting Kindergarten in 4 days!!! That is why I haven't been around! Getting ready for the BIG day! I thought I was excited...I am! But this morning when we had to get up to "practice getting ready for school...my heart just swelled! My baby is growing up!  This is a very exciting time in her life. New friends, new "rules", new schedules! Yikes! But, when I was standing outside before work today, after they dropped me off, my eyes filled up and reality hit. She is going to school...very very soon.

I know I will deal with this better than Torrance. And he isn't afraid to say that he is going to miss her during the day. They are like two peas in a pod. The time that they have spent together have been memorable to say the least. She has full day kindergarten to top it off. Wow! Full day, right away!!  And she is going to have homework too! Sigh!  She is looking forward to her new adventures that she is going to have in kindergarten.  She has already told her teacher when her birthday is! She never ceases to amaze me!

I pray that God will cover her in His grace and help her to spread her wings, while protecting her. Gosh if I am this way with kindergarten, can you imagine high school...or even college?! I wouldn't trade any of this excitement for anything in the world! Being a mom is a hard job...yet soooo rewarding! So so rewarding!
