As I dropped my 5th grade daughter off at early morning band practice weighed down with her instrument and a backpack full of "big kid" books, it seems like it's only been a few minutes since we made the decision about starting her in preschool. Now we're thinking about high school and college.
I had been home full-time with Bridgette since she was born (except for doing a few freelance projects), so she was a bit hesitant about starting preschool. Fortunately, she was going to a preschool at our church and would be there with her two best friends that she had known since birth. She ultimately did fine, but I sure missed that little one during the three hours she was gone those days.
If you're in the process of choosing a preschool, here's an article with content provided by the naeyc (National Association for the Education of Young Children).
In the meantime, to help remind you how fast our little ones grow up, here are two pictures. Bridgette with her bestie as two-year-olds, on their first day of kindergarten and now as girls on the cusp of being 11.
