When Sydney was born, we knew she would start Kindergarten in the fall of 2018. In 2017, our town changed the birthday requirements from an Oct 1 cut-off (you had to be 5 before Oct 1) to August 1. This meant Sydney (our Sept birthday gal) would now start in Fall 2019. They also said, however, they would test any child who was impacted by the change and possibly allow early admission.
We weren't gong to test Sydney. We struggled and wrestled with it but 3 days before the application to apply, we did. And she passed with flying colors! We talked to her daycare director, preschool teacher, watched her playing with her Pre-K kids at school (where she's the youngest) and ultimately decided it would be good for her.
So, we've been quickly getting all of her forms together. We had her dental exam (no cavities!), her eye exam (she can see!) and her pediatrician physical (she is healthy and can hear!)

We are so excited for Sydney and she is SO excited to go to school with Maddie and ride the bus. Chris and I joke that she maybe should come with a warning label - she's a spirited girl!
We had a family day at the zoo last weekend just the four of us - our first trip this year!
We found Tara, our favorite docent!
Sydney did not want a bird to land on her but Mads loved it!
This one started me by flying up and landing on me from behind. The girls thought it was a riot.
More ice cream nights with our neighbors!
Maddie's Girl Scout Meeting this month was at the library for their Kentucky Down Under show. They featured a hedgehog, baby turtle, mini crocodile and snake. The girls loved them all. I took pics from a far.
Our first attempt at a selfie was foiled by Sydney's foot.
We also celebrated Father's Day with our favorite daddy! We love you Chris!
