Growing Up

Our first baby girl is growing up, and I can't do a thing to stop it!

On Wednesday afternoon as we were driving to Dallas I got an email from the girls' preschool telling us about Masie's preschool graduation. Well, that's too cute, I thought to myself. I imagined her in a little cap and gown--I have no idea if they'll really wear one, but that's the picture I saw in my head. I could see her so happy and excited to be graduating, so happy that we were there watching her. So of course I called my mom and told her to mark the calendar so my parents could be there.

While telling her about the graduation I could not believe it, but I actually started crying! What is wrong with me?! Oh my word, tears streaming at the mere talk of her graduating from preschool. I am a mess. My mom wisely told me that I will have plenty of more tears to come in her lifetime. I am sure I will.

Jason thought I was silly.

A few hours later, after we had gotten settled at Jason's parents house and were making dinner, I told his mom and sister about the graduation. And wouldn't you know it...crying again! I couldn't believe it! I was getting so emotional about my sweet little girl actually growing up. I don't think I'm ready for that to happen.

Jason walked in the room and said, "Oh my gosh, are you crying about that again?" He thinks I'm nuts.

The good news is that I did make it through telling Jason's dad and other sister without crying, so I may be getting a grip on things. We'll see about that.

I'll let you know when I officially have a graduate!

WAAAHHH!!!!! I would be sobbing too! My baby will be starting preschool this next year. I don't even want to think about him graduating :) Time sure flies by and I really wish sometimes that we could just freeze time.

I remember when we first met. She was just oh so small!!! What a pretty little girl she has turned into.

You're the sweetest thing ever. I will do the same thing when Levi graduates from preschool. Just thinking about it now makes me sad and he's only 14 months old!

I am the same way!! I so understand. Carsen is turning 5 soon, and will be graduating from pre school...I am just not ready.

I cant believe the school year is almost over and Masie will be graduating. If they do what they did last year... which was a great little ceremony I must add, she will be wearing the cap and gown. Go early so you can grab a great seat.

YAY Masie!!!!!
