You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

Mt. Zion Open House

Kelsey had open house today at her school. We got to meet Ms. Pam, our teacher and her assistant, Ms. Tera. It's hard to believe our baby girl is starting school already. She seems to have grown up so much faster than Ally ever did. This should be a very interesting year for Kelsey and us. Kelsey knows as much as Ally did in pre-school, but she has no desire to show it just yet. Some of things she knows blows me away, but I am finding that she likes to keep her knowledge a secret and it only comes out when I am not around...or so she thinks. Kelsey does seem to be a little more socially immature than Ally ever was, but that could be because I am with her in most structured situations...like Sunday School or dance class. It will be very eye opening to see how she does this year falling in to the social curriculum of school...following directions, paying attention, waiting your turn, sharing, and doing "school work". Can she write her name? Yes. Will she do it for me if I ask her to? No. Baby steps...baby steps...I am sure she will grow and blossom this year in to the big girl who goes to Kindergarten next fall. Best of all...she enjoyed visiting the classroom so much that she cried when it was time to leave. Let's hope that is how we feel next Tuesday.

I'm ready to go to school!

Kelsey had lots of love and support at Open House!! We're so proud of you, baby!!
