Where does the time go?

I remember August. I remember being sad that summer was coming to an end and I remember my nervous anticipation of Trent starting school five days a week, all day. I remember wondering how many extracurricular activities were too many and being thankful that I only work three days a week.

Trent's last day of Kindergarten was Friday. I cannot believe that this year went by so quickly. This was such a great year for him and he had the most talented wonderful teacher and aide. As the homeroom mom, I spent a lot of time with the class and witnessed their patience and skill with total admiration. Trent learned to read this year, he learned how to add and subtract, tell time, and count money. And I am in awe of his teachers who somehow got twenty-three five and six-year-olds on the same page! I have watched him grow socially as well, making friends and learning to handle all kinds of social situations.

I am ready to enjoy the summer with the boys! At least two days a week we can sleep past 5:30am! Woohoo! We will run through the sprinkler, have playdates in the park, and play outside every day. Ahhhhh!! Summer is back and I am really looking forward to it because, it will seem like I just blinked and August will be here once again. And then I can turn my worry meter back on because, not only will Trent be starting first grade, but Ian will be starting preschool. Where does the time go?
