| Hunting Easter eggs at Grandma's house! |
The prime purpose of being four is to enjoy being four - of secondary importance is to prepare for being five.
~Jim Trelease, The Read-Aloud Handbook, 1985
Today is my granddaughter Addison's fifth birthday! Five is a very important age. Pre-school days are coming to an end-- she will start kindergarten in the fall. Going to school will change her. She will be exposed to The Real World to a certain extent. Out of reach sometimes for those of us who love her to protect her from that world.
On the other hand, she will be exposed to so much new learning. The wonderful world of reading and books... the wonders of science... the joy of music and art and of being a part of a team. She will develop friendships. The World will be hers for the taking!
So, while I remember the times we have shared with her this year and wish I could freeze time sometimes, I look forward to watching her learn and grow in this important time in her life!
