My baby girl is growing up. Every homeschool is unique and one way ours differs from others is that we have sent them all to Head Start. It began when my mother, Marmie, worked there and I had little ones one right after the other. It just seemed like a good choice. Elijah went for two full years and loved it. He thrived in that atmosphere so well that by the time he was ready for Kindergarten he had already learned nearly half the stuff we were going over. Josie went off and on for a few years. They both loved their time there, they had wonderful, loving teachers. A lot has changed though. Mom doesn't work there any longer and Elijah and Jo are both being homeschooled this year and I don't have any little babies needing lots of extra attention but... Molly grew up kissing one or the other goodbye and watching them go happily onto the little yellow school bus, visiting their class during the day and seeing all the wonderful creations they brought home. My wish was to keep Molly home. She's my baby and I really just thought we would just skip the whole Head Start thing with her. Mom isn't there any longer and I am settled into motherhood and homeschooling quite well. Molly had other thoughts on the matter. She kept asking last year when she would get to ride the "frog" bus to school like bubby and sissy. Those big blue eyes and her sweet persistence has her getting on the bus tomorrow morning. She is so excited and I know that it will be a wonderful year for her. I just can't believe how big my baby girl is.
