I can't believe it's that time of year again! It seems like just yesterday I was watching my little Max finish Kindergarten, and now it's Kate's turn.
Rather than make this post a "oh-my-goodness-I'm-getting-old-what-have-I-done-with-my-life" shpeel, it will be a recap of my time with her these last 5yrs.

I love this little girl SO much, but it wasn't always mutual. She was such a high-maintenance baby, and she didn't care for me. Max and Kate's differences have always been compared to that of dogs and cats. Max is like a dog; very friendly, affectionate, etc. Kate has always been like a cat (and this is coming from someone who grew up with cats); you have to work for her affections, it's her way or the highway, and she doesn't do anything unless she wants to.

I believe it was the summer of 2010 when she suddenly decided that she loved me, around the time of her 2nd birthday. Usually when I showed up to babysit, she would greet me with angry tear-filled eyes. This time, the front door swung open, and there she stood, a big smile on her face and she excitedly called out "Lindsey" before running across the lawn barefoot and jumped into my arms. I will never forget that day.
We've been as thick as thieves ever since.
Happy Graduation little one, I love you!
