Bye-bye Preschool, Hello Kindergarten!

2 days from now, our little princess will be officially out of preschool. 2 months and 3 days from now she'll be starting kindergarten. Wow. Just wow. How did we seriously get here? Completion of the kindergarten assessment just affirmed for me what I already know: she's a rock star when it comes to letters and numbers but sometimes has a hard time staying on task and following instructions through. And what prekindergartener would that *not* describe?  She is super ecstatic about starting kindergarten, she fell in love with the school when she got to tour it a few weeks ago. She got to meet some of the specialty teachers; Art, Spanish, Computer Labs, Librarian. She got to see the playground and walk through where each class plants their own garden. As is the case for most mom's in my shoes I'm eager, apprehensive, and proud all rolled into one.  She'll be a bus rider, and she can't wait for me to come and eat lunch with her  I better eat that up while it lasts. I'm sure in another 7 years (or less) she'll be begging me not to. Apprehension and nervousness for my baby aside, I'm really excited about what this year will bring. This is going to open up a whole new world for our eager learner. Truly, raising this little wonder has been the greatest gift and the biggest blessing I have ever received. It's not easy, but I wouldn't trade the experience for the world. It's a wonderful thing to watch your child learn and grow. My cup runneth over.
