Well, The school year is coming to an end and the Summer is about to begin and I can hardly believe that my little girl Alyda, who is now ending her first official year at school (well kindergarten). 
It has been so much fun watching her grow through the year and excelling at so much, she has had an awesome teacher Mrs. Greene who has been so great to work alongside.  I was in tears when she was starting Kindergarten and I am holding back the emotions as she is about to end this first real adventure, it just reminds me that she is not staying little for long....(although little is still what she is, because she is the shortest thing in her class), but she is figuring out what life is and should be, and I am excited for her to reach new levels, I just really never thought I would feel so messed up emotionally from it.  It must be what the life of being a mom is I guess.

Zaylin will be starting pre-school this fall, and like I did with Alyda,  I think I will keep him at home with me for it, he has the social stuff down anyway, so it will be nice to bond with him one on one at home until his turn in Kindergarten.  I don't want to rush my kids out the door...it's gone too fast as it is and I really love having the time to do what I can with them.

Avery is just busy, busy, busy.  He wants to keep up with the other two but he is just not fast enough to chase them and he gets so mad when he can't.  He is another social bug, just like the other two, and does not mind getting himself lost.  Church, the store wherever, he just runs and never looks back. I love his attention to something, he loves to draw and color already and wants a paper and pen all the time to play with.  He is attached to his 3 blankets that he sleeps with and has to pull them all out of bed when he is leaving it.  He could literally be Linus from Charlie brown....it's so funny to watch, he calls them his "cozy's".  He is learning to say so many things and repeats things back to you as you say them.  I can't resist cuddling with him because he loves to hug in return.

I guess I am just facing the fact of having this "JOB" although I hate calling it that because although it is work to raise children, that's not how I like to look at it.   I can't explain what I mean by that....I just refuse to use that phrase.
