School Days School Days.....

Aurora was off to Kindergarten yesterday and Gracie off to Speech today what a big step in growing up.

Kindergarten Freak-out

Well my baby is going to go to Kindergarten in just a short while, I had a complete meltdown about it last night. I woke up Matt (accidentally) crying about how she's so little and what if kids are mean to her and what if she needs help with school lunch or finding the bathroom or finding her classroom or doing her school work or making friends ect.... I was worried about maybe I didn't give her enough leway on picking out her school shoes, did she really get the ones she wanted.....Anyway I'm a big cry baby, Matt said she's growing up and everything will be fine and we need to give her some independence. This all sounds very logical..... I know I'm not the only one concerned about school, Aurora asked me this morning if she could just do school work at school that she didn't want to have homework because "I don't want to do school in the dark" I tried to explain that the sun will still be up when she's working on homework and that there will be plently enough time to play after. She's also concerned about missing her favorite PBS shows like Super Why. I told her she'll be so busy doing fun and cool stuff at school she really won't care she's missing her shows.Well the point is we are entering a new phase here in the Spencer Household, and frankly were all just a little nervous but we know it will be great!

Three, Three, Three

Gracie Faye is Turning Three! I can't believe it my adorable Gracie is turning 3! She is having a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Party (pics to come later). She loves Mickey and Minnie! She has been saying the cutest things lately she has been able to identify the letter "w" but refers to it at a "double-me" and the letter "u" as "me". She's growing up! We're so excited for her to start speech in just a few weeks, I'm sure she'll be talking up a storm in just a short while. What a Girl!
