The Middle Child
My middle child starts Kindergarten tomorrow.
No fanfare for this one.
No portable photo book for this one.
Quite frankly, she is lucky that she’s got a new backpack and a new outfit the way things are going here at the FrummieHouse. [FS gets a *tad* stressed during the month of Elul…]
We’ve been calling her “Middle Child” since she was a baby. We figured that she might as well get used to it from the get-go.
But she really is her own person, in her own right. Tomorrow, she will experience what it will be like to be “Beernut Frumette’s little sister.”
I wonder how she will take to that. The closest I ever got was in 12th grade math when the math “teacher” (and I use that term lightly!) once confused me and PepGiraffe. How any math teacher could confuse us remains an eternal mystery.
Backpacks are packed. Lunches are made. Cookies are cooling (for a sweet school year). And the lunch notes are written.
Only one thing left…
{sniffle}
She’s growing up.
Don’t forget your hankies.

hang in there.
happy school starting!
