So tomorrow is the end of our first year of school. I am sad in a way as I hug my growing girl and notice that time is ticking away. I am glad too because I can't wait to see all that God has in store for her to experience. I hope I do not get in the way. She has had a great year. We have learned a lot - mostly how to let go. I get a little pit in my stomach still every day as I think of her going off in to the real world. I know she is safe and loved but I still know too that, just like I did, she will have to learn life....

So what a great beginning of the next 12 year journey. Her teachers loved her. I was able to get to know her class by volunteering a bit. I even got to know her teachers and had a great time with them. It is the perfect place for her. Kindergarten was a time of learning what to wear, how to buy lunch, how to do homework, how to keep track of our things, how to ask the teacher to go the bathroom, and how to deal with friends saying "I am not going to be your friend anymore" when you don't do something. I think some adults still do that today. It is funny - most of what you learn in Kindergarten carries over in to real life. Isn't there a book about that? Any way - from what I hear we will get a bit more comfortable as the years go on and the lessons will be different. I am a bit sad, like I said but so glad too that God has given me the privilege of watching this little girl grow. What a gift! Have a great summer and we will touch base again in August!
