My baby girl is officially registered for Kindergarten and I have no idea where the last five years went. Honestly, I have mixed emotions about her starting Kindergarten since she is my last child. Part of me is so excited to begin this journey and the other part of me is a bit sad – sad that my baby girl is growing up faster than I am probably ready for.
I sat down to write exactly what’s in my heart and the lyrics from one of my favorite songs kept resurfacing. Here is my wish for my baby girl, best written by Rascal Flatts:
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, and each road leads you where you want to go. And if you’re faced with a choice that you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin’ til you find a window
If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything,
More than anything…
My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold – and while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to
I hope you know somebody loves you – and wants the same things, too
Yeah this – is my wish.

So sweet. She is a doll face! This will be me in about 2 years…. oh man!
Are you going to be boohooing at the bus stop?
Or if you take her, at the entrance to her school? This us such a sweet post that brings back memories of my friends and me when we sent out kids off to kindergarten. It was an array of emotions depending on whether the mom was sending the 1st kid off, or the last. A few sad faces, a few happy dances. With my first two, I was happy and proud. By the time the last one went, I was doing the happy dance. 
I hope your beautiful daughter will read this many years from now on the day that she sends her child off to school.
Oh my goodness Heather! She is so adorable!
I have no idea how I’m going to handle my kids going to school for the first time, but I see myself being really sad at the time going so fast.
Good luck on that first day!
very sweet. time moves way too fast, indeed. my little man will be going to kindergarten next year. i’m in disbelief.
Beautiful post, beautiful family. Congratulations to your baby girl on starting Kindergarten. They really grow up so fast. P.s., I love the glasses in the first picture!
My son is also going to Kindergarten this year and I’m so not prepared. I know he’s ready and excited about it but for me I’m left wondering how my baby turned into a child old enough to go to Kindergarten. Oh woe is us parents
Thank goodness for photos of captured moments. Love the ones you shared.
Awww. I totally understand how that feels
My one and only starts kindergarten in the fall. I have the same tear filled wishes for him. Kindergarten is such a big change for both of us. When people ask him if he is ready, he tells them that he and I am not. He is so right.
Love this.<3
Love this post! My youngest is now almost 9, but I still get emotional for so many of her milestones…because it’s the last time I’ll get to see it happen.
This makes me want to go get my son from daycare just to sing him this song. I think your pictures went along beautifully with this.
I’m terrified for the day my son starts kindergarten. But this made me feel a little better about it : )
