Tatum had Kindergarten registration yesterday and is now extremely excited to start school. I cant believe she is already old enough to go to school. She was so funny after they took her for her screening test, she came running down the stairs yelling out "Mom I did soooo great on my test." I never thought anyone could be so excited over a test. She even told me today when she was getting ready for preschool that she didn't want to go to preschool anymore she just wanted to go to Kindergarten. Poor kid has to wait a whole summer to start and poor mom has to answer the same question at least 4 times a day of "when do I get to start Kindergarten?" It was pretty fun to see her excitement though.

On another note:
What do you do with a kid who gets lost every time you go out in public? Yep that's our Reese. She got lost once again at Kindergarten registration. Let me just tell you the number of times she has wandered off...
1ST Time: We were at the mall, and the girls were playing in the play area. Well after a few minutes of playing I noticed I couldn't see Reese so I looked everywhere and asked Tatum along with all the other parents if they had seen her leave and of course nobody saw her. So by this time I'm starting to panic. Long story short she walked off with someone else's stroller and was down at the end of the hallway by Old Navy playing with the pop, shoes and all of the other belongings that were in the stroller.
2ND Time: We went swimming at the hotel Court's sister and family were staying in, and as we were sitting around talking in the lounge she once again disappeared. I was really nervous about this one because anyone could have grabbed her and took her into their room. We had myself and my brother-in-law Charles walking down each hallway and Court outside looking everywhere. Turns out she decided she needed to go potty and she knew where the potty was at because the older girls had already gone. When I walked into the bathroom she was just finishing and I told her "Reese you scared me I couldn't find you," and her response was "I sorry mama I just go potty" like it was no big deal.
And now the most recent : Kindergarten registration! Once again she had the stroller and was wandering the halls of the school.
I cant believe how fast she moves and how oblivious I guess I am. So if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
I've already decided to that I need to get one of those kids backpack harnesses. I always thought it was so cruel to have your kid on a harness, but now I have absolutely no problem with them.
Who would have thought that such a cute little face could get into so much trouble.
