Growing pains

You don’t really notice the daily changes in your kids since you are with them so frequently, until you pull something like this.

And then you cringe and say “Holy shit, where did the last year go?”

Cardin started Pre-K this week and I’m befuddled at the growth from last year. She’s grown a whole head and her book bag fits like a real kid now!! Though the picture doesn’t show it, she hasn’t grown just physically; she has grown socially and academically as well.

We are very excited to see how she will grow and what she will learn this year. However, I’m already dreading the day I have to put my bug on the bus to go to kindergarten.
