Oh How Time Flies

Well it has finally happened. Lyda has started kindergarten. She woke up last Monday at 6:30 am and said "Mom, today is my big day". She was pretty anxious to start and there were no tears on either side when we dropped her off. While she really enjoys going to school, she does think that there are too many rules. The one that she was pretty upset about was the "no whistling" rule. She is quite proud that she can whistle and does it all the time without thinking about it. Things have really changed around the house now that she's gone for most of the day. It is a bit more peaceful around here, but Kode and I really do miss her. I love knowing that she is off learning, making new friends and having a good time, but I feel like a part of me is missing while she's gone.
