Next Week At THIS Time...

Next Monday, at this exact time, my little Clare Bear will be...
AT HER FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.


Wasn't it just yesterday that I looked like this?
 Didn't I just bring her home from the hospital?
 Has it really been three years since she sat in the stroller like this?
 I perfectly remember this stage...just before she started walking.
 I still have this picture on our wall...as if it was just taken.

I remember when we gave her this backpack and joked that, "It won't be long before she's actually heading to school."

NOW...the time has come.
 My sweet, spirited, curious, thoughtful, inquisitive, crafty, and adventurous little girl is GOING TO SCHOOL!
 She starts a 2-day (because Mommy isn't ready for more than that) program on Monday, and she is SO EXCITED!  She keeps asking, "Do I get to go to school today?"
 SLOW DOWN TIME...
I'm not ready for my little man to grow up that quickly...
although it seems to be happening even faster.

I remember playing school with my big sister! Pretty soon Clare will play "teacher" and make Isaac her pupil!

Awe... Your post made ME all sentimental. Kassidy is never going to be old enough for school. :)

My friend's big joke is that I will go to school with Colbie (including a dorm room next to hers in college) because I won't ever let her go.

Way to go Clare for being so excited, and good luck on Monday Corrie, I will be thinking of you.

I am sure she will love school just like her mommy did.
