Summer is fun. The past couple months have been full of firsts for Mags and some for Junebug too...first time being flower girls, first time camping, first time riding a bike with no training wheels, first time going off the diving board at the pool, first time riding a horse, first time picking an onion from Grampa's gardnen in Minnesota, first night on a top bunk and first sleepover, first time going down a huge water slide (30 times in a row)...
Some of these firsts were crammed into last week:
She has just popped out of the water after going down the slide.
Gardening
Exploring her great grandfathers barn with cousins-another first.
With all the fun it's surprising that Mags has been asking me daily, "How much longer til school?" Although, I have to admit, I occasionally think the same thing. Today while she was hanging on my leg whining, "I'm going to stay on you like this for the rest of the day," a vision of school might have breezed through my mind.
I hope her impatience means she's gonna love her new school (especially after the agonizing decision making process I went through choosing the perfect place for her, and us). I will definitely be wondering what she's doing at every hour at school and if she's smiling while she's there. I'll miss her but as long as she's happy, I'm not gonna lie, I'm going to enjoy some more free time.
To make the anticipation fun we started a school countdown chart and she crosses off each summer day after the other.
Until then we will take the time to appreciate new beginnings.
