Somehow this summer has flown by. Usually things mosey along at a reasonable pace until July. Then, for some reason, time kicks it up a notch. And now here we are in the second week of August, and school starts next week. This is a big deal this year, because Miss M starts kindergarten! She's very excited. And Little Sis is excited because Big Sis is excited. ("Look!" she exclaims when we drive past the school. "Maddi's tinderdarden!") And I'm kind of excited because I will not have to listen to arguments and crying all day long. But I'm also fearful because this is a big step...I'm releasing my firstborn into the care of someone else on a daily basis, for a large chunk of time each day. (Why is it necessary for 5-year-olds to spend all day in school? I still don't really get that one.) But I should relax. She's friendly and will find new pals. She's smart and will do fine academically (she's been reading Dr. Seuss on her own lately). So what I really should say, in the spirit of Alfred E. Newman is: "What? Me Worry?"
New baby alert! My sis had her first kiddo in July. Can you tell which is the real baby belly?
All this aside, we've had a great summer. Let's see if I can do justice by narrating with pictures:
Water fun with a friend.
Sumer staple: freeze pops.
Garden girls.
New baby alert! My sis had her first kiddo in July. Can you tell which is the real baby belly?
Farm fun. (Meow.)
In business selling sweet corn.
Riding a bike...2 wheels!
Can't believe she'll be 2 this month! A has a great sense of humor, and she's very verbal. Talks, sings, and dances all the time!
