She is 5 1/2 now and in 4 short months our baby will be entering kindergarten...full day kindergarten. I can't even think about it without tearing up. I still remember when she was just learning to walk and now she will be walking onto a school bus leaving me from 8:45 to 4:15...how is that even possible. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it. I have to stop. She has learned so much this past year at her preschool. She has learned how to write her name and many other words. She knows all her numbers and has learned all about the days of the week. I feel that everyday she comes home from school and has learned something else new. She is always so excited to go to school and she loves her teachers so much. I feel truly blessed that she was able to be in this class in order to prepare her for her very long day of kindergarten. She recently did a pom and cheer camp at my work and I was able to watch her performance. The performance was so darn cute and she was so proud of what she had done. It really took me back to when I was little. I see so much of me in her.
Addy is also a wonderful big sister to Austen. I love how they have such a bond, even though they do fight at times, he looks up to her so much. I know she is going to miss him so much when she is at school. She tells me though she has to go to school so she can learn new things, but that she will come back. How grown up is that? I am going to so miss my little girl.
Austen is an amazing 2 year old boy. I have to say that when I gave birth to him, I was not sure what I was going to do with a boy. I had my doubts, I was used to pink,purple and dolls. Although now since Austen has been growing up I have been introduced to trains, cars, dinosaurs, and I am okay with it. He has grown so much since he was 1. He talks and communicates so well. He understands when I tell him something. His little voice melts my heart. Every morning when I go in to get him, he greets me with a smile and says "Hi Mama" or lately when I go in and say "Good morning Austen" he responds with "Morning Mama". How did I get so lucky? He is always so happy and loves just being a kid and being with his family. One thing that has been hard is he has been going thru a hitting phase and it has been affecting my work. Let me rephrase other people are affecting my work. Austen is a 2 year old boy going thru a typical toddler phase and some people just don't get it. I have had to adjust where I am at work to watch him and make sure he isn't hitting anyone, but he does love to just be around other kids and be a kid. He also loves his sister. He always asks where Sissy is when she isn't around or at school. He loves dropping her off at school and says "Bye Sissy" his new thing is saying "See you soon", which he has gotten from Mickey Mouse. :)
Jay and I are so blessed to have two amazing children, we don't know if we will have another kid or not, but what we do know is that we are two of the luckiest parents in the world to have two healthy, happy kids. We couldn't love them anymore if we tried.
They make our hearts melt and put a smile on our face every day.
