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.

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!!!
