Well, summer 2012 came and went. Obviously by the lack of updates on the ole blog, we had a pretty eventful and fun-filled summer. We packed as much fun and activities as we could into the last 3 sunny, hot months!
But inevitably thee day has finally come. It would be a lie to say that I have not had a pit in my stomach and a sort of dread for this day since Kylie Rae came into our lives on September 22, 2006. At every baby milestone I remember thinking, "wow this raising a kid thing sure makes time speed by at an amazing pace. Next thing I know she's going to be going to Kindergarten." And then I would chuckle. But just like that... it happened.
For almost 6 years, she has been my constant sidekick. My little helper. The one who taught me how to mother. The big sister. My heart walking around outside my body.
Tomorrow she starts a new journey. We start a new journey. She won't be with me every hour of every day and I won't be able to hold her hand through uncertain times and new experiences. I can only hope that the last 6 years has been helpful to her and that we've taught her enough so she can hold her head high and go confidently (with her shy smile). I know this is so good for her and she is so ready for this next step in her life. I know she is going to grow. She will be able to spread her beautiful wings. I hope she will love school and learning as I always did. I cannot wait to greet her with a smile and a hug every day at 3:30. I cannot wait to hear about what she learned, all about her new friends, see her wonderful crafts (surely the highlight of her day) and watch her teach Gavin her new skills.
She will always be my baby, whether she is in my arms, right next to my side or not.
Here's to a wonderful Kindergarten year for my baby girl.
Go ROCK that school, KyKy!!! :)
