We signed Megan up for kindergarten last week. When you're in the thick of it, it seems like their babyhood will last forever and then before you know it, they are on their way to 6 and getting ready for kindergarten. Megan was very excited to see her school and learn all about it. We found out that it is all day 9-3:20, five days a week! I was very surprised by that and hopefully she will adjust well. I guess when she starts school, we will be forced to cut out her naps. Yes, she still naps, and yes she still needs them very much! We also signed her up for the Two Way Immersion (TWI) program which means that she will be immersed in Spanish to eventually be a bilingual kiddo. I don't have a lot of information about it except what we've gotten from friends of ours who are doing it in another district and apparently have been given a lot more info on it. I can't wait to hear Jace and Megan speaking Spanish to eachother. Or maybe that could be dangerous? Anyway, I'm trying not to be anxious or worried about it for her. I'm hoping she will embrace it and be confident in it. The big picture ends in a bilingual adult who is a standout on college and job applications!
The other surprise we got (at least a few months ago while I was researching the school) is that she will have to wear a school uniform. Now, for a girl who loves dressing herself and is all about what is pink, cute, pretty and adorable, this might be a bit of a challenge at first. Hopefully we can find multiple ways of making navy blue, white and khaki all of the above!

I can't believe we just survived Kindergarten Round Up! The kids are getting so big. Which makes me feel incredibly old. Wasn't it just yesterday that they were 6 months old and we were barely holding it together at mom's group? :o) We'll find out in August if Jace and Megan will be telling each other secrets in Spanish...
