Preschooler

Sammie was so excited to start preschool, but not excited to take a picture before we left.

She eventually gave me a semi-smile...
Then a silly face.




She is so anxious to be like her big sister and do all the things she is doing. I was watching Sammie's excitement after her first day of preschool and it made me want to just freeze her in that moment. We had the funniest conversation.

Me: Sammie can you stop growing up? I want you to stay 4 forever.
Sammie : Then you have to pray for it.
Me: Really? So I should pray so that you will stay four.

(Sammie keeps eating her lunch then says with her mouth full.)
Sammie: It won't work though mom.
Me: It won't?
Sammie: I prayed in our old house that I wouldn't grow up and it didn't work. We just have to grow up.
(eating again...)
So when I grow up and you're a grandma I'll send you an invitation.
(Keeps eating then grins...)
You can come over and see my kids.

What a cute conversation. I forgot that her and Annabelle will be in the same year at school.

How cute! Kids say the cutest things that if we don't write them down we will forget.

Oh I just laughed and laughed when I read that comment about she will invite you over to see her kids!!! yes unfortunately they do have to grow up. some days we feel as if it will never come and other days it comes way to fast.
