Is getting so grown up. She suddenly looks a lot like a big girl, and has lost all of her baby girl chub, and in just a month she leaves me for all day kindergarten. I'm pretty sure she is ready for it (she asks me all the time when she gets to go back to school, and we found out last week that she is going to have the teacher we requested), but I know I'm not ready for it. We have had such a fun summer together. We have spent a lot of special afternoons together while Gwen naps. I love spending time with her, and in a way consider her a good friend. Today we enjoyed a cup of cherries (my all time favorite fruit) while she asked me about the house that I lived in when I was a kid. I love to look at her, an old soul in conversation, but still a child with cherry juice all over her beautiful little face. Afterwards, I pushed her on the swing and then swung next to her while she giggled about flying like a bird. Next she helped me pick lettuce out of our garden. She was thrilled about how her red lettuce looked just like a bouquet of flowers and before we knew it, she had picked every single leaf from two different plants.....we probably had too many plants anyway. . . (I wish I could bottle up these moments and keep them forever.)

PRECIOUS! It makes me want to spend more one on one time w/ Ryan. We start homeschooling next month!! He's very excited!!
Very princeless times for sure. Too bad you can't keep them little and sweet forever. Enjoy those mother daughter moments.
How is it possible that she's going to kindergarten this year?? Wasn't she just a little baby in your sling just yesterday?
I loved this post. Cherishing the prosaic moments that define the extraordinary beauty of our little ones!
