As I told my peeps on Facebook, I'm now a 40-year-old mom of 2 kids in GRADE SCHOOL!!! I now have no children in preschool. Those days are gone. Forever...
You see, no matter how much I tell them to "Just stop it!", my kids defy me and continue to grow anyway. They grow. And change. Change way too fricking fast!
And make us parents crazed, wondering where our babies went, until we realize that we should just enjoy the changes.
And hang on for the wild ride.
And take snapshots along the way -- as long as we can pry our fingers off the dashboard or the oh-sh*t handles long enough to hold the camera.
So, here are my Mini and Lam, frozen in time, snapshots at Grade 1 and Grade 3...

ReplyDeleteAnd they never listen about growing up - my 16 year old is now talking about going to Africa for 3 weeks next summer!
Awww! That's so adorable!

Beautiful! And exactly my sentiments -only for the newly teenage, grade 8 in our family(he just won't stop either) . :-')
ReplyDeleteDoctor Who? Me too! Excellent answer. I love that kid.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic by the way!
Hi Nenette! I had to stop by, it's been too long and you reminded me!
ReplyDeleteMy baby just started grade 1! I found kindergarten harder though, this year I am relishing the new work responsibilities. It's a bit sad but I love the changes in the end.
Great post of your kids at this age, it will be fun to look back on:)
Adorable! Love those kids.
