Camryn had her 5 year old check up today. I can't believe she's 5. Her party was last weekend at Kiddie Mia's and she had a ton of her little school friends there. My house is running over with presents.....it looks like Christmas around here.
But I just can't get over the fact that she's 5 years old and in kindergarten. She looks so cute in her school uniform, and she's doing great. Most of the parents walk the kindergarteners to class....but Camryn won't have any part of that. She let me for the first couple of days, but lately she insists that I just pull up through the circle and let her out. She puts on her backpack, tells me bye, off she goes! Every morning I worry that she won't know where to go or won't be able to get the hall door open, or she'll fall, or many of the hundreds of other things that could go wrong. But every morning she makes it there just fine, despite all the concerns of her overprotective mother.
She asked me yesterday how old Dylan and Courtlyn will be when she's 15. I thought for a minute, and told her Dylan will be 13, and Courtlyn will be 11. That doesn't even seem possible right now. And I can't help but think even further into the future.....when Camryn is 18, Dylan will be 16, and Courtlyn will be 14! Or when Camryn is 21, Dylan will 19, and Courtlyn will be 17! All I can think about is the college parties and underage drinking that will probably be going on with the younger two. I probably need to start getting all the sleep and rest I can now, because I think I need to save my energy for when they're all teenagers at one time!
