How did Kindergarten get here so quickly??? It seems that just yesterday we were enjoying our carefree summer days with school nowhere in sight and then suddenly the girls are school age and preparing for real school to start. I can't believe my babies are 5 1/2 and starting Kindergarten tomorrow.
I feel lucky that I don't have to have the big, sad sendoff moment that many mom's have. I don't have to drive the girls to a strange new school and walk them to the gate where they'll stand and wave at me before walking into a new class full of strangers. I don't have to turn away and hope and pray that they'll be okay and God will bless them with not only a great teacher, but nice kids to befriend them who will be good influences in their lives. I instead get to serve them by being the example I should be and helping them to learn not only school subjects, but how to be the little people God wants them to be. I don't have to be sad that I'll miss out on everything they are learning and experiencing and instead get to see it unfold first hand and I'll be the one rewarded when I watch it click. I'm so very blessed to be able to homeschool these girls and I can't wait to watch this year unfold!
So tomorrow we'll wake up, have our breakfast, get dressed in our new first day of school clothes, take some back to school photos, and then start Kindergarten. It's official... we're a homeschool family... and I couldn't be prouder!
