School

I can't believe that we registered Maddie for school last week. I am so amazed that she will be attending kindergarten in the fall. I am excited for her, but I feel like all her innocence is going to be gone. She goes to preschool/daycare now, but this is a very new experience. I now that I can't keep it from happening, but I am just amazed that the years have gone by so fast. We were talking at a family dinner the other night that Joel and I will be married 7 years in September. That just amazed me. I actually had the number of years wrong. I thought it would just be 6. In these 7 short years we have managed to be blessed with these two healthy, beautiful children and now one is going off to school. In these elementary years she will form life-long friendships. I remember my friends from elementary school and it was so fun before we started worrying about our hair, clothes, or boys. So innocent and just there to have fun and learn a little bit. I hope that Madelyn is blessed with the best teachers there are and that she never gets a crappy teacher. I hope so much for Madelyn and I think I worry the most about her. Maybe because she is girl? I am not sure. Eli is just seems to be so tough and strong and very sure of himself. Maddie is very head strong, but she sees the good in everyone. I hope she doesn't get hurt by this, but I also don't want to make her feel like she had to question everyone intentions. Next week we have Jump into Kindergarten so I am sure after that I will have something interesting to post. Have a great weekend.

In the womb

Do you think that our children's personalities are formed as early as conception? I wonder if it is something that is influenced over time or are you born with it? What do you think?
