My baby, now 5 ft. tall, started 5th grade yesterday. It seems like Kindergarten orientation was just yesterday--and she was crying for "Mama!" because all the kids were asked to sit together up front and for a moment she could not see me. Those 5 years passed by so quickly...
On a more uplifting note, I heard that this year's teacher is big on science, which until last year was RG Jr.'s favorite subject. She said it was boring last year. This year there will be a 2 month-long science project. It's important for girls in particular to have their love of science nurtured, since unfortunately, it is still too often viewed as a "boys" subject, especially as kids get into the older grades.
