I took these the week before Taryn started school. I’m so, so glad that I did. I was “this” close to putting them on the back burner but now I’m so happy we did this. My girl had a really rough start to school and kindergarten, we totally didn’t even see it coming, it hit us like a brick wall. She is now thriving and doing very well. We couldn’t be more proud of her, all that she has learned, all that she has overcome in just a few short months. It has been quite the adjustment but with the help of a good friend, we can now stop to look at the kid she was before, and the […]

Tomorrow morning, we will wake you up early with a smile and I know you’ll be your usually grumpy self until you really wake up. You’ll scowl your signature scowl, stretch and then voice a random complaint, likely the last thing you thought of before going to bed or something you dreamed about. It will be random and it will make me smile. I’ll give you a long hung and you’ll curl up in my arms and snuggle on my lap, your head on my chest with your long legs dangling down to the floor.

kindergarten. it’s happening. whether we are ready or not. she meets her teacher on thursday. school starts next monday. during orientation last week she made her daddy go with her for the kids tour while i stayed behind in the parents meeting with teagan. 5 minutes in, she told him she was ok on her own and took off with the rest of the kids. she’s looking forward to lunch time. and the playground. and computer lab. and the library. she’s relieved the group of kindergarten teachers knew what criss-cross-apple-sauce was. she’s worried about the noisy toilets. and fire drills. she’s mad we won’t let her ride the bus. and she […]
