Can someone please tell me how all the sudden I'm staring at the face of an eight year old girl who is definitely not a baby anymore. I know it sounds cliche, but it's so true what them old folks say about time flying by. Sometimes I look at Charly and can't even believe the beautiful, confident, tan, little girl who is staring back at me. This is unreal!
As for Piper, we I took the big step and enrolled her into kindergarten for the fall. A part of me is relieved but there is always doubt that tries to creep in on our choice of schooling for the time being. To an outsider it makes perfect sense. To me it makes almost zero sense. But, for now, this is the path we are on.
I try really hard not to sit and think of all the things I dislike about public school, about all the reasons I am a big huge quitter, a failure....... It's hard.
Then, I am reminded of all the strides our girls are making. Like, when Piper scaled the wall at the Spring Fling, totally leaving the older kids in the dust. She pretty much has the confidence of a leader! Piper rocks! Get it? Rocks? {Insert laugh here}
And, Winnie. Oh, Winnie! Cutest little baby with her daddy's baseball cap on. EVER! Winnie is officially the same age as Piper was when we moved here. Now there is some perspective for ya!
