Last night I went to my last kindergarten roundup.  My youngest daughter Cayleigh will be in kindergarten in the fall, and last night we visited what will be her elementary school.  We got to meet with some teachers and she got to check out what her classroom will be like next year.  It's crazy to think that later this fall, all three of my kids will be in school all day long.  Is it too soon to start planning the party?

Cayleigh will also be the first of our kids to go directly from preschool to all day kindergarten.  Chase and Carly both have birthdays on August 26th, so because they were so young, they went to junior kindergarten.  That was only a half day of school.  Not for Cayleigh!  That March birthday of hers allows her to go straight to all day school!  What will I do with all this free time I have coming?  I have a feeling my wife will have something to say about that!

Along with the joy of having all 3 kids in school all day, comes the realization that our kids are growing up...and fast.  Sure, Cayleigh is only going to be in kindergarten.  But Chase is going to be in JUNIOR HIGH next year!  A middle schooler!  Yes, they're growing up right in front of me.  Part of me wants it to hurry up.  Soon, that part will want it to stop.
