It ain't just a river in Egypt!
Full Day Kindergarten is coming, whether I like it or not Keira went to the Doctor today and got all her immunizations updated -- and then was treated to some ice cream afterward - I mean, seriously, getting 4 shots without so much as a tear warrants ice cream, right?!? We got a letter in the mail today about orientation and a phone call yesterday about what bus she is on and when it will pick her up. The train is moving forward and I need to get on it.
Keira is ready. She already knows over 100 sight words and can read some of the beginners books. She is becoming quite the mathematician as well - randomly coming up to me during the day and saying "Hey Mom, 9 minus 5 is 4" Alrighty then, it sure is. She is constantly looking for something more to do. another project to create, something else to explore. She will do great.
But I am sad to be losing my baby all day. She gets on the bus at 7:50 am and won't get off the bus until about 3:45 pm. Talk about cutting the apron strings. Our weekday outings are over for the most part. I already feel guilty about even thinking about taking Mallory to the zoo without Keira. Is that weird? I just don't like the thought of her missing out. But she will be having her own experiences, making new friends, learning new things, taking cool field trips - lots of things that Mal and I won't get to do. I am so excited for her to have all this stuff to look forward to .... just gotta get over the blues that my first is growing up!
