I think Kindergarten is just what we need at this point in time. Don't get me wrong, I am sad that my baby girl is growing up (way to fast!) I'm sure I will miss her, I know I will miss her. But, I am excited for her, she is going to love school! She has been walking around our house copying words she sees in her little notebook.
I still panic sometimes when I think that this is the beginning of a new stage in life. I worry about what she come home saying and the questions she might have. I'm not sure how many members of the church are in her school so I worry if we've prepared her enough to face the world. But, then I breath and realize it's just kindergarten. We had a nice rain storm pass through Sunday so we let the kids go at it! They were so excited to play in the rain and mud (the mud that used to be grass until our grass dies because of the lack of rain!)
With Carly starting school it will be just me and this little man at home. Life has a funny way of throwing you for a loop. I didn't think I'd be down to one child at home so quickly. I thought I'd have another baby by the time Carly started school, but....obviously there are different plans for us right now. In a way I'm excited. Sam and I can have the one on one time that Carly and I had before Sam. It will be weird for sure, but I'm looking forward to it! (let's just hope and pray that there is another child here by the time Sam starts school. I'm not prepared to have all my kids in school before I'm 30!)

Definitely DOES NOT make you a bad mom to not be sad that Carly is going to school. I felt the same way about my kids- Josh in particular. He was SO ready for school. Now here I am- 3 out of 4 kids headed back to school and I can not wait. I love them, we've had a fun summer and I am sad to see summer end because it's been pretty carefree- but, we are a little sick of seeing each other every day. The kids are anxious to see their school friends and eat school lunch (ya I know, my kids are weird). It's hard to have them grow up, but it's exciting to see them experience new things and learn new things. She will learn some interesting things at school for sure. Kids will be kids, but you guys are great parents and will be able to handle anything that comes up. She is going to love it and so will you. Still praying so hard every day that you will be able to have another cute little one running around. Hang in there. :) Love ya sis.
Nope no bad mom, that is why we have children to teach them and then let them spread their wings. Yes it is difficult and the world is a scary place but Carly has great parents, she will be fine. You have a lot of prayers coming your way on adding another little Mclane cutie to your family!!!! Love You
