The official countdown has started...one more week! It has been the "damned if I do, damned if I don't summer." I plan an outing, the kids want to stay home. I don't plan an outing, the kids want to leave due to extreme boredom. So today...stay home and play (plus a few chores of course)!!
I found the time to put together a few special deliveries for my dear friends...the ones with kinder-bound kids. Pick up a super cute box of tissues. Print out a tearjerker poem. Address. Mail.
I can't believe it myself...my baby is almost there!
First Day Of Kindergarten
by Author Unknown
She started school this morning,
And she seemed so very small.
As I walked there beside her
In the Kindergarten hall.
And as she took her place beside
the others in the class,
I realized how all too soon
Those first few years can pass.
Remembering, I saw her as
She first learned how to walk.
The words that we alone made out
When she began to talk.
This little girl so much absorbed
In learning how to write.
It seems as though she must have grown
To girlhood overnight.
My eyes were blurred by hastily
I brushed the tears away
Lest by some word or sign of mine
I mar her first big day
Oh how I longed to stay with her
And keep her by the hand
To lead her through the places
That she couldn't understand.
And something closely kin to fear
Was mingled with my pride.
I knew she would no longer be
A baby by my side.
But she must have her chances to live,
To work her problems out,
The privilege to grow and learn
What life is all about.
And I must share my little girl
With friends and work and play;
She's not a baby anymore --
She's in Kindergarten today.
