No more preschool...yeah

So, Kailyn finished going to her pre-school…or Ms. Solde’s as we call it. She is very excited that she is big enough to go to school and can’t wait for her first day! And though this is a wonderful new chapter of our lives, I have to admit I will miss her old school and her simply wonderful teacher. I asked her the other day if she would miss it and she just responded, “No, I am a big kid now. I will never go to a little school again.” As I sat back, a bit astounded, I looked at her and realized…she’s right! She isn’t our darling little girl anymore…she really is a big kid! What a bitter-sweet moment!

Daddy's hair

So, you know those moments that happen and you wish you could just freeze them or take a picture, but you have no camera! The moments that one day when your little daughter grown up you’ll smile and say, “I remember when…” Those simple and sweet little moments that make up our everyday lives. One of these such moments happened in Church a while back and I hope to always remember it. As I said, we were in Church and since Kaliyn’s legs apparently don’t ever work Tony was holding her. She had both her little arms wrapped around his neck and her cheek pressed to his. As if this wasn’t cute enough, she gently put her hand on his head and rubbed it back and forth. She then looked at him gave him a little kiss and preceded hugging him and rubbing his head. I thought it was so cute! Since then she will often just be talking to Tony and start rubbing his head. Intrigued, I asked her one day if she liked daddy’s hair. She simply replied, “Yes, I love it.” I think the fact of the matter is that she loves everything about Tony and I find that simply wonderful!
