Kaylee is Going to School

Today I went with Jana to meet the teacher for Kaylee since she will be going to Head Start.  She is much to young to go to school it seems to me but she just turned three. In  Head Start they play mostly and read books but they do learn things too. It will help her I am sure but I just think kids go to school a lot of years. Once they start they don't get to finish until they are out of college.


Jana really had to put her in there as she goes to college. She has two more years to go. The last two years I have kept Kaylee while she was in college. I can't do it this year because I plan on spending some time in Sweetwater. I told Jana I can pick her up in the afternoon when she gets out until I leave in November. I will miss watching her like I did last year. We watched SpongeBob so much and had such a good time.


I really feel sad thinking about her being a big girl and going to Head Start . She is not the baby anymore. She thinks it will be fun and it might be fun for her. And then again she might not like being away from everyone familiar. She has never stayed with anyone but family. It is an all day class. Her teacher seemed like a real nice lady.


I have been around Kaylee almost every day since she was born except  when I was gone to Sweetwater last year for a couple of months. I kept her when Jana had to have gall bladder surgery when Kaylee was only a month old. That wasn't easy keeping a new born baby plus three rowdy boys for a few days. The first two years of her life I kept her when they went on vacation for a few days. This was the first year they took her.


It is going to be hard letting go . I know she will learn a lot though and get prepared for when she does go to school. Jana will have more time to study and do homework in college too. It will be easier for everyone that is involved in her life I guess.


She will do good. You just got to let her get a start in her life. It is almost like when my kids left home and I had a empty nest. I am still getting over that empty nest. And I will get over this too. You just have to let them grow up.
