Kindy Registration

It's been said before....but my baby girl is growing up.  My oldest "baby" is starting Kindergarten in August!  How can I be old enough to have a kindergartener?  Well, actually I'm technically old enough to have a 16 year old but still.  My baby will be a kindergartener!

She's soooo excited.  We talk about it a lot in hopes that she and I will transition smoothly when the time comes.  I'm not worried about her a bit.  I'm worried about my mental state when it's time to send her off.  Just thinking about it makes me realize....yeah...I'm gonna cry.  I have the summer to get used to the idea I guess.  And I also have the summer to live up and enjoy every minute with her before the school takes her for 8 hours a day.  EIGHT hours a day folks!  That is a long time for a five year old...and for her Mom!  I have no doubt that she and I will adjust beautifully....eventually....but it will be hard.  

I truly see her just falling in love with the whole school process.  She loves preschool and is such a smart girly and loves to learn.  She loves to play with friends, she loves to learn things, and she dreams of riding a school bus.  That pretty much sums up all that Kindergarten is.  I'm just hoping that she'll get lucky enough to at least have one good friend in her class.  

We enrolled her online awhile back but now marks the time where we physically go to the school to fill out her paperwork and provide all the necessary documentation.  I wanted to make it a special "Mommy/Daughter Date" so I had my friend watch Jonas and Brooklyn while Addison and I spent some time together.  It didn't take long but it was fun just being with her and talking about everything and answering all her questions.  She was loving just sitting there and watching the students walk by while I filled out the paperwork.  It was great for her to actually SEE the school that will soon be hers.  

Practicing her letters while Mommy filled out the "Kindy Registration BOOK".

Enjoying some ice cream as we finished up our date.  We had a great time and had the chance to talk lots about school.  I have no doubt she will love every minute of it.
