Can you spot the difference in these two pictures? It’s subtle, but it’s most definitely there. The difference is one is starting her first day of Kindergarten, and the other one is graduated from Kindergarten. Amazing, isn’t it?!
The first girl is almost three inches shorter.
The second girl now has two baby brothers instead of one.
The first girl can only write the first letter of each word in a sentence.
The second girl writes pages upon pages of stories, complete with quotation marks and illustrations.
The first’s favorite thing at school is snack time.
The second’s is Library.
The first draws stick figure people with one large egg head with lines out the sides for arms and legs.
The second draws full-color pictures, with fully-clothed people, background scenery and speech bubbles.
The first is scared to get on her bike with training wheels.
The second rides her two-wheeler around the neighborhood for hours.
The first girl can count to 100.
The second girl can add, subtract, count money and is starting to tell time.
The first might have a panic attack if her schedule or routine had to change.
The second can roll with the punches and is becoming adept at handling disappointment and scheduling conflicts.
The first girl likes to play computer games.
The second girl instant messages her dad, has an address book, and calls family members at will.
I’m sure I could go on forever. The difference in these two little girls in just 9 short months is nothing short of miraculous. I can only imagine what changes first grade will bring.
And just for kicks because these pictures make me giggle:
Its so amazing how much they grow up with just one year of school. All your other posts are cute too I just didn’t want to comment on every single one:) Yay for cute babies, Yay for birthday parties that go well, Yay for tape!
