I can't believe this is happening

Here is Caroline posing with her brand new backpack.
She starts kindergarten in just a little over 4 weeks. 
It makes me so sad, but so happy at the same time.
Everyday it gets closer, Caroline reminds me of how big she is getting.
She just seems more mature to me (she still has her moments) and is
 playing well with her sister.
They have seemed to gained a better appreciation for eachother
 this summer, which I love.
Caroline even changes Makenzie's diapers.  Yep, you read that right.  She changes diapers.  Love it!!

You are growing up so fast Caroline.  Can you do mommy a favor please? 
Slow down.

I know what you mean :( Emily in first grade and Alex in second! When did that happen! I hope this year will slow down just a little...especially with a newborn! I'm not looking forward to having them both with homework this year...aaahhhhh! Caroline is so cute! We need to start school shopping soon...Alex is not thrilled! We've had a good summer!
Take care!

It is amazing how much more mature they seem and how the older they get the more understanding they seem to become towards one another. You know Abby is the little mother too. She has put Elizabeth's diapers on at bedtime many a night. I don't think she will have any trouble with diaper changing when she starts babysitting. She also had the chance a couple of weeks ago to give a friends baby a bottle. She loved it! So exciting and sad for you at the same time for Caroline to be going to Kindergarten. Tell her we said to have fun!
