Caroline is growing up!

My little sunshine is getting older. Each year that we celebrate birthdays I have my emotional moments, thinking through memories that one year that has brought to us, yet realizing that one year is also gone.
Caroline is really acting quite a bit older lately and growing out of some of those toddler/preschool struggles we dealt with for so long. She is blossoming into such a sweet, compassionate and attentive little girl.
She will start Pre-K on August 27th and I am really excited for her yet very sad at the same time. I know this isn't kindergarten, but it is the beginning. Someone else is going to hear, watch, and see things that I won't experience and it is hard to let go. Of course, I know it is a natural process and one that needs to happen...but it is still very challenging for me. Thankfully, she will only be gone three 1/2 days a week. When I asked her what I was going to do without her she told me 'Mommy, you will have Doster and I will only be gone until after lunch.' She has a much better grip on this transition than I do! :)
