Growing Up

Here's a tidbit of a conversation we had with Kira on Saturday.

Kira: I am going to be 5 soon
Mom: Yes you are, are you excited?
Kira: oh yes being 5 will be great.
Mom: I loved being 5 Kindergarten was fun
Kira: I can't wait for Kindergarten
Mom: You'll be gone every day I'll miss you
Kira: Its ok Mom I'll give you a love hug (never heard that expression before) and then when I'm gone you could look in my room and think about me and how much I love you.

She said it so grown up so matter of factually it brought tears to my eyes. Sooner than I know we'll be having this type of conversation before her wedding day.

What a cute thing to say! I love the things kids come up with. I wish they didn't grow up so fast...

Congrates to Joshy too on the potty training-that's awesome!

You're such a good mom. Also, I really love your hair color. It's so fun to switch things up once in a while!
