Third Day of K3...

so by this point some of you are thinking - good laaaawd jen shut up already!

But I can't help it! Today for the first time, Chris got to see his big girl get up for school and be happy about it and brush her own teeth and potty by herself and undress/dress herself and be willing to put on socks and shoes and get her hair done. Then march downstairs to happily eat what we give her and talk about school and then grab her back pack and sling it over her shoulders and dashing on her sunglasses.

We are both stunned at this transformation - and realizing as our dearest friends have told us - if you blink, you may miss your kids growing up. So, we're here eyes wide open trying not to blink at all --- watching our little lady.

Too cool. Watching the kids grow up and become more and more independent is a biter sweet thing. But mixed in with the tears will come a sense of pride that will somehow make it better. I miss my kids terribly but what is cool is we are becoming more like friends and less like parent/child. Don't stop the updates. It brings back fond memories.

Maybe on the 47th day of K3 I'll get tired of hearing about it, but so far I'm still interested. Maybe she can show off her backpack when she sees Bailey in October? I hope you guys get to spend some time together.
