I slowly wrote less and less since I got busier and busier, something I regret. Now one turns 19 in August and the other just turned 16. They get a kick out of seeing that bee stinger for a first sting, rock that came out of the ear, and multiple stories. Keep your journals. Your kids will love them later!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778551329180061978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-78032997501919983042011-06-16T19:19:57.584-04:002011-06-16T19:19:57.584-04:00Katy, I moved every 2-3 years my whole life (and a...Katy, I moved every 2-3 years my whole life (and am now on my fifth location in 10 years with my hubby), so I don't remember a lot of great grades. I just remember middle school wasn't wonderful, so I worry about her. I wouldn't trade my memories with her for any NY Times Bestseller list (well I might trade a few moody days for that!).<br /><br />And Mom, aka Nana, I love and miss you!Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-24446737699385036452011-06-16T17:24:19.852-04:002011-06-16T17:24:19.852-04:00Fifth grade was my best year EVER!

With the next two kids I didn't have the wherewithall anymore, and now I only remember tidbits of the third child's infancy. I gave that book as a gift to my sister when she had her third and it meant a lot to her. Congrats on your daughter's 5th grade graduation! My son just graduated 8th grade and while it was a wonderful milestone, I think moments like that are always bittersweet for parents.Annette Gendlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006606888883773812noreply@blogger.com
