How 5 makes you feel old.
I have a significant birthday in a few weeks. Not AARP significant, but getting there. But even the spectre of that day looming ahead doesn’t make me feel as old as the methodical marching of events in my children’s lives.
Yep, you’ve guessed it. Today, Katie started Kindergarten. Kindergarten! Not Pre-K. Not preschool. Full blown real school. It is incredibly surreal.
(and psst, Katie’s friend started 1st grade today - and rode the school bus!!)

Phshaw! It’s a semi-milestone (that’s the term we used in our house when we hit it!).
Wait until she turns (GULP) TEN years old…. Our Miss M did that this past month, and it was pretty horrifying!

My college students make me feel old. My current crop of freshmen were born when I was a sophomore/junior in college! I used to be the cool young professor, but pretty soon I’ll be the same age as their parents! Yikes!
