Two weeks and counting



Two weeks and counting and my darling little girl will be starting Kindergarten.  Am I ready you ask?  Oh wait you are probably wondering how Hollin feels and if she is ready?  Of course she is ready!  It is all she talks and thinks about it!  She can't wait and this summer she met two kids that are going to be in her class which makes her even more excited!  We got her backpack (we got her the navy and green polka dot) and her name is even embroidered on it.  I am a little obsessed with her name and I love this backpack!  She does too.  We got all her school supplies even!  She is ready!

BUT the real question is am I ready?  NOPE!  My baby girl is starting Kindergarten.  She is also turning 5 in the same week!!!  Really, Kindergarten and FIVE??  This is cruel!  I am proud of her and that she is ready but man it came so fast!  I still remember the day I delivered her!  It was wonderful and I never, ever thought that it would go so fast.  I know every mom I know has told me it would go by fast, but this fast? Really? 

I will be "that" mom.  I will be crying my eyes out when she is heading in the door for her first day. (Heck, I am already crying just writing this).  I will miss her while she is gone that first day but be so anxious to hear all about it.  And for those of you who really know Hollin, I will hear ALL about it!  This I love!  She is so detailed orientiented.  That's my girl. 

Now sweet Hollin Bear go in there and show that teacher of yours how incredible and perfect you are.  I love you and I am proud of you  but please don't get upset if I put a brick on your head to stop you from growing. 

On another cute side note.  Hollin got a Welcome Postcard from her teacher today and she is sleeping with it.  Cute right?

Be thinking of me on August 24th...
