Every once in a while it seems like the kids age a year in one day, and it becomes evident in a picture. This picture did that for me. I can't believe she starts kindergarten in just a couple of weeks. We're disappointed that she didn't get into full-day kindergarten because she seems so ready for it. But, Cindy will continue with home schooling and I'm sure Kenzie will continue to soak it up like a sponge. She has taken a very keen interest in reading, even to multiple syllable words. She overcame her fear of becoming frustrated with new words and is really eager to figure things out.

She's not very excited about school yet. I think the change is hard for her. We've gone into the new building a couple of times, but she's not comfortable there yet. We talk a lot about making new friends and learning from new circumstances. I think she gets it, but she's also sad about leaving her old school and friends. Today she was looking at the pictures from her graduation from preschool, saying how much she LOVES those pictures.
