How can summer be over already?

As I'm sitting here making a checklist of things I need to do in my classroom tomorrow morning, I am in disbelief that summer vacation has come and gone so fast. I've enjoyed spending so much time with Makenna.

There are so many everyday moments that I'm going to miss once school starts though. I'm going to miss seeing her dump her breakfast all over the floor when she's finished eating. I'm going to miss hearing her shout "mama, up!" when she wakes up from her afternoon nap. Most of all, I going to miss sitting outside with her and watching her explore.

She is SUCH an outside girly-girl. She wants to touch everything and then say "ewwww!" She always asks "what's that?" and points to trees, the sky, cars, bugs, everything. She calls the neighbor's dog over to play by yelling "Molly--dumb, Molly--dumb". It took me a little bit to figure out that dumb=come! We've gone to the zoo weekly. We'll have to keep doing this on the weekends because it is one of Makenna's very favorite things to do. Thanks again Grandma Sandy (Grammy) for the zoo pass! We've gone to The Little Gym and Story time at the library with some wonderful friends. It is exciting to see Makenna learning how to interact with her peers. We also spent many weekends at the cabin which Kenna absolutely LOVES. Just this past weekend, she went wading in the bay all the way up to her chest!

Since I haven't posted pictures on the blog for awhile, I'll just post some of my favorite ones from the last month or so.




While I'm super bummed about going back to work, I'm thankful that I truly know how precious this time I've had with her is. The count-down in on for xmas break!!
