I haven’t talked much about Ad’s school lately. And we actually have two days off this coming week for conferences. Yes, conferences…for preschool! What are they going to tell us? “Well, she doesn’t eat as much<\/strong> glue any more, she is progressing nicely?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe I’m feeling a little snarky because this week is the week. THE<\/strong> week we register her for kindergarten in the fall. I can hardly think of it without getting a giant lump in my throat.<\/p>\n

But much like my hesitation at first in sending her to preschool, I know deep down that come fall it will be time for her to move along. She is so ready, and so very excited. While she might not have the…ah, shall we say school acumen <\/strong><\/em>that her older sister has, she shares the same excitement about going to school. And she still asks every single day, “On this day do I get to go to school?”<\/em><\/p>\n

This past week was her 100th day of school so they were instructed to bring in 100 somethings. It could be anything. I was pulling for Cheerios, or stickers, but Emma pipes up with, “Hey! We should get jellybeans! That would be fun!”<\/em><\/p>\n

And since our little “never-met-a-candy-she-doesn’t-like Sugar Bear” thought that she might get a few jellybeans on the side, she heartily agreed that it must be<\/strong> jellybeans.<\/p>\n

So she counted out her 100 jellybeans…<\/p>\n

And then had to recount them, since some of her piles seem to be down a few…<\/p>\n

And then after about a dozen of the beans, she declared, “I don’t think I really like these jellybeans, Mama. They taste like crayons.”<\/em><\/p>\n

How she knows what crayons taste like? We’ll never know. But I do know that I love these sweet cheeks with all my heart.<\/p>\n

(And yes, there is a definite quota each day on how many times I need to kiss them.)<\/p>\n
