Kindergarten...times two

It's hard enough to send one child off to school for the first time...so two is even more difficult...but not for them! They were so excited for the first day of kindergarten! They pretty much ran into the building, ran to their desks, pulled out their first assignment and got right to work.

It's not so easy for me. Or for my little Gracie. She wants to be five. She wants to go to kindergarten, too. She wants to color at the big desks. She wants to play on the playground and go to recess. She wants to ride the big yellow bus.

She just won't this year.

So...she cried all the way back to the car. She was the first at the end of the driveway when she heard that the bus was coming down the street. She misses her brother and sister during the day. She wishes she were five...
