I've spent all summer in a state of denial.
I haven't thought about Phoebe going to kindergarten. I haven't talked about Phoebe going to kindergarten. I've lived in a blissful cocoon of ignorance, pretending that life won't change drastically on the morning of August 27th, just living in the lazy days of summer.
But the sun keeps setting and time keeps marching on forward toward the inevitable.
And ACU sends us a backpack.
Just like when they send graduates the ONESIE when they have these little bundles of joy, ACU sends a backpack right before school starts the year they are five. Eli got one, too, but since he wasn't going to kindergarten until he was six, it didn't bother me as much. It was just another cool ACU thing. With Phoebe, it was like reality throwing a cold bucket of water on me, shocking me out of my denial.
She really is going to kindergarten. And it's really going to happen very soon.
And then I'll blink my eyes and it will be the August of 2025 and she'll be packing up to head to ACU.
I think I'll just work on getting her through kindergarten first. :)
