Too Cool for School

I have been so absentminded about posting.  It seems as if the time is running away from me and I do all I can to hold on and enjoy the ride.  Since my last blog, which fell exactly on Allie's 5th birthday, so many things have changed the direction of our household.  Our focus has shifted to a routine of homework, playtime, dinner, baths, a story, and bed.  The entire family seems to be enjoying this and we are happy because we are doing it all together :)

Allie began Kindergarten on August 8, 2011.  I can honestly say I was incredibly nervous and felt as if it was MY first day too.  So I'd like to think we started this experience together, for the first time.  My girl has done so well and is one day away from completing her 2nd week of school.  She loves school and has learned so much already.  Her first week was complete with a daily visit to music class.  How perfect for her!  This girl loves to sing, dance, and entertain.  So it was only fitting that she get acclimated with a class that made her so comfortable.  I have to say, though, Allie loves the lunch room.  She loves going through the line with her tray, making her selection of food, and of course picking which flavor of milk SHE wants.  I love that she loves the small things.

With all that being said, I must admit that I miss the fact that she will never get to stay home when she wants, stay up late to watch Billy the Exterminator, or wait for her daddy to come home (all during the week of course).  I realize this is part of growing up and she can't stay a baby forever.

My girl is growing up.....

P.S. Pictures on the way.  I'm bad, I know.
