On Thursday I got to attend the Kindergarten Spring Sing with a bunch of very cute little 6-year-olds singing as exuberantly as they could. It was cuteness at its best and I loved the joy and innocence their little faces radiated as they sang their hearts out to their parents.
A few minutes into the show I watched while right in the middle of one of the songs, Ellie had a seizure. It's still not unusual for Ellie to have several seizures per day and I'm sure that most people assumed she was daydreaming or something, but it made me teary-eyed thinking of the challenges ahead for her. Besides her safety, I especially worry for the day when her peers will start noticing the frequent lapses.
Oh yeah, and then there's the whole bit about my BABY finishing kindergarten that kind of got me misty-eyed too. I guess, that with two kids that are going to be in high school this fall and no more preschoolers or kindergarteners, I may have to reluctantly admit that we're getting to the middle-aged stage of life now. Speaking of middle-aged, I would like to point out that when Glen hits the big 4-0 this Saturday, that it will be an entire year and 10 months before me!
