Final Elementary Days

Our first born walked on to the bus this morning as a 5th grader.  I type this in excitement.  And in fear.  I very clearly remember 5th grade.  Boys became cute this year.  A love for reading and writing solidified itself this year.  Bra's began to be wore this year (or wished they could be worn for some of us :).  Friends slowly became cooler than my family this year.  Excitement for wanting to be a teenager showed up this year.  Social studies fascinated me this year.  Math began to bore me this year.  Junior highers seemed so big and cool this year and so close...

I recognize that I was a year older than Jadyn at this point in elementary (due to my birthday), but I still anticipate lots of "growing up" and lots changes to come this year.  I expect we will begin to see more of a young lady than a little girl as junior high waits just around the bend.  I pray I can slow her down just a tad, enjoy this a little longer.

  2. So fun to see her through the years on her first day of school. I really can't believe this is her last year in elementary. She is growing up way too fast!!!
