How quickly it really goes. Childhood, summer, life… all of it. Here we are ready for another year and Alyssa was ready too. Summer is fun, but she (and her mom) enjoy the structure of school schedules. We had a few jitters and a few “I am nervous”, but she did great. We met her teacher earlier in the week and Alyssa gave her a hug at the door (of course she did) and walked right in. Found her seat, obeyed her directions and was off. She gave me one last look as to say “mom? stay.” But we both knew she was fine. Here is a little clip to document some of her thoughts at age 7.
LOVE the video!!! Know Alyssa will excel in 2nd grade and be a joy to all of her family and to her teacher. Glad to hear you are doing so well. Still wearing my ring and praying. Love ya.
Oh my goodness, she is adorable. I cannot believe how much she is still the same Alyssa and yet grown up all at the same time. I love your interview, you are such a good mom.
Pulls on my heart strings! Alyssa, are you sure you don’t want to come live with me for a year and be in my 2nd grade class? I know it is going to be a good year. I love you, sweet girl!
Can she really be in 2nd grade? I still remember meeting you and Ethan at the mall to look at my wedding pictures. She was teeny tiny then — only a few months old. Time really does fly.
So grown up!!!! It does go fast… way too fast!
Loved catching up on all your beautiful pictures and posts; you’re so great at all of that! More than that, really glad to hear that treatments are almost over and that the side effects haven’t been too bad. Alyssa’s video is precious; hope she has a wonderful year!
