Ok, here's the thing--by the calendar it all sort of makes sense. Three years ago this month a baby was born. Now that baby is a kid starting preschool. No big deal, right? Except for the fact that there's a reason the phrase "they grow up so fast" is a worn-out cliche. Because it's true! It's like those odd nights of sleep where you close your eyes and seemingly the next moment you're waking up and it's morning. A minute ago I was wearing my monkey bathrobe and holding the little sugar lump above, and then I blinked and I'm standing outside on the sidewalk this morning taking a First Day of School photo. What the heck!? Where did the baby go? I sometimes think maybe Mabel ate her.
