The Year Is Escaping Me

It is so weird to be in this moment. Madilyn is three years old. I remember when she was born and Kylie Jade was just turning three. I remember saying "when Madilyn is Kylie's age Kylie will be 6!" And here we are. The first official day of summer and I am sitting here in amazement watching my girls.
Just as I typed that Madilyn started shaking her tail shouting "shaking my butt!" Never a dull moment here.

Madilyn and I have been working so hard on tracing and spelling her name. She has done wonderfully and knows how to spell her name now. I finally signed her up for her new preschool (which she will start in September) and of course Kylie Jade is gearing up for the big first grade.

I have been checking CCS's website every few days to see if any new information is posted. We have her supply list for first grade and have already finished all the books off her suggested summer reading list...now just awaiting the teacher placement.

This year we found out CCS is opening up a prek, which is something John and I have been hoping for since Kylie Jade did her assessment so long ago at CCS. I am very excited because I know Madilyn will flourish there (if she gets accepted) and I definitely think Madilyn may need one year of practice before she starts Kindergarten. As much as we loved Kidspark and I think I will love First Baptist I know Madilyn is going to need that full time full day Prek before she gets into the swing of Kindergarten.

I cannot believe June is almost over, and our vacation to Hilton Head is nearing. I cannot tell you how excited I am for Madilyn to see the beach (she went one time when she was 3 months old so this will be awesome). Kylie Jade is so ready for the beach she is constantly talking about it and they are already making plans to make drip castles, sand castles, find seashells, and see a crab. I know John is excited to fly a kite and I am just ready to relax and take a week off work and just soak up the family time.

This summer has been jam packed with summer camps, work, swimming, and friends. I gotta say this has been an amazing summer and I can't wait to see what July holds for us.
