My little baby Sammy....isn't she so cute? Who said she could grow up?? Not me! I have been having mixed emotions lately about the end of the school year. I am excited for summer and I am really excited that we are done with all the end of the year mumbo jumbo! But, I have this huge problem...I AM NOT READY FOR SAMMY TO BE DONE WITH KINDERGARTEN! Kindergarten is so safe and they sing cute little songs and they paint, color, and play! They do cute little crafts and learn about ladybugs and butterflies! And she gets to come home for lunch and spend the afternoon with me! She can't go to 1st Grade ALL DAY! She may as well be graduating from High School, going to college, and getting married. I am NEVER going to see her anymore (besides weekends and holidays and ok, afternoons and evenings...but COME ON!). Okay, I know (surprise, surprise) I may be acting a little dramatic... but I am really sad! And of course, I can't tell her that because then she will be scared to go to first grade and I know she is ready and all that its just that I AM NOT READY! I guess its good I have Summer Break to get used to the idea!

I just have to say it...

I don't think you're being dramatic, I was the same way last summer. I tried to soak up each day before my little baby left me! I still miss him and wish that school was only half day forever.
I forgot to say...CUTE picture of Sammy as a baby. I love her big eyes...they're so pretty!
I'm going through the same feelings! Maybe we should start a support group!
I love the drama!! I can laugh now, but I will probably be going through the same thing in a couple of years!! :)
Remember how I felt with Kyler going to all day kindergarten?(half day was full) I cried,he cried, it was awful to start. Then it got better. Then he could not wait to get on the bus. I must admit full day is a long time 4pm is qwhen he walks in the door.I feel your pain. But it will all work out I promise!!!
OH and her eyes are so adorable. That is what I always remember about Sammy. Cute kid!!!NO beautiful kid is more like it.
That is what I am talking about with homeschool. I would never actually do it because I dont want to think of the damage I would cause to their education, but it is a little tempting, isnt it? I cant believe that Carter, along with Lincoln will be gone all day next year too. We can worry about it when school starts. For now lets have a great summer, even if is is 51 degrees.
Kyle, you'll never get used to the idea. Brooklyn will be going in to 3rd grade next year and I still have the same emotions that you are having right now. We are no longer the main influence in our kids lives:(
I feel your pain! I hate that they grow up!!
I can't beleive Aleck will be heading to kindergarten next yr!
Thank goodness for half day!!
Kindergarten is full day in TN! It's aweful, you feel like you see them only to rush them to get ready and get their homework done, and get ready for dinner, and then get ready for bed! The weekends help, but they are sometimes just as crazy with soccer games and church! I wish for those non-structured days a lot, but we have to let go at some point right?! Doesn't make it fun or fair though! I will pray for you and all us sappy young moms who don't want to let go!
It's absolutely crazy how fast it goes! I keep wanting to press the pause button for just a moment. Just until I can catch my breath!
So cute! I would be a little sad too. She is adorable. Have fun with your kiddos this summer. Those are the things that they will remember. Not the day to day things that happen at school. Not until at least jr. high ;)
Even though Tacey is only 2 I have already thought about when she starts school. I know she will love it and I will just cry. At least for now I have a few more years!!
One day at a time, Kyle!
First, that is one of the CUTEST baby pictures I have seen!! ADORABLE!!
I have already thought about Jackson going to school and it makes me want to freeze time!! I guess that their little lives are full of progressive events that gradually lead them away from us!! HARD for moms, but part of the plan!
It is bittersweet to see your children grow up. It is amazing to see them turn into these little independent people... but so sad to know that they will never be your little baby again and that you are losing more control and the ability to protect them all the time. You should be proud, Sammy seems like such a sweet little girl and if she is anything like her mommy, she won't let anyone push her around. :)
