Not so little memories~

Growing up.

Today was Kaylee's last day of kindergarten. She is officially going into first grade....where the heck does the time go? Such a bittersweet moment. I was looking at photos of her the other day from when she was 2 and 3 and I was amazed at how much she has changed and grown. Yesterday I sat down inside to watch her play outside the arcadia door with the water hose on our back porch. She was having such a great time all by herself.  As I sat and watched her I realized that this phase will pass as did all the others. What would life be like when she no longer plays by herself with such un-adultured joy? What will life be like when parents embarrass her? In a way I guess I dread the future, the loss of her childhood, I dread her growing up.

You see, those memories that I think are just little ones, really are big memories. I plan to enjoy each and every not so little memory with my not so baby girl....
