That the days are long, but the years go by so fast. Can't even begin to make sense of what happened to Kindergarten. And it's over. Wasn't it just the other week I was a tearful mom putting my biggest on a bus, way pregnant, rushing to follow the bus to school on that first day? I watched the video I took from my hideout in the parking lot. All you can hear is my crying sniffles.
So now we have a graduate. Whose diploma reads "The Biggest Imagination in Rm. 3." A graduate who reads, who can count by 10's, whose teacher says she beams from the inside out. Proud mama? You can bet on it.
So I guess it's time to squeeze the guts out these longs days. And make them last. And remember them. And document them. And cherish them.
This is my only summer with these three faces, at theses three ages, with theses three challenges, and these three triumphs.
First grade and preschool are right around the corner. Mercy, mercy.
