My little girl

Well today started the first day of the rest of Mehkyas life. She is now officially a kinder kid. She seemed great going to school today. Of course Rebecca and I were there and neither of us cried. It was a little sad watching her sit at her desk as we walked out of the room. It got me thinking alot about her future. How will she respond? Will she be diligent with her studies like Rebecca was or will she slack off like her daddy? As of now she doesn't seem very interested but as my cousin Cody told me it takes time for it to sink in. My little girl is growing up. No longer will I be able to pick her up early from day care and take her to get ice cream or drop her off late to school after we have slept in. We need to step up as parents now as well. I am lucky that Rebecca was grounded in her education and knows more about study habits ect... I want to push kmac and I am not really sure how. Rebecca and I both have had conversations about what we could have been if we both would have really applied ourselves in school. I know I never did and am still struggling with school work some 12 years after graduation. I managed to receive my college degree and am working on my masters but I am still lazy as hell. It's time for us both to make sure that Kmac is driven to do her best. I hope we haven't failed her as far as work ethic already.

I know the Rebecca you keep referring to studied, but that's not the Rebecca that I grew up with. ;-)
