Covid won\u2019t stop life (in most ways). We managed to reach another milestone of Light\u2019s life. She is now a grade school student! She is in elementary! What happened?!?!<\/p>\n

\"pandemic<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been staring at this 7 year old girl in amazement a lot lately. How did she grow up so fast? I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the pandemic but time seemed to go by doubly fast since it happened.<\/p>\n

When Covid hit we were starting our second year in homeschooling. She was in K2 or Kinder. When the school year ended, I thought we wouldn\u2019t be able to have her graduation ceremony anymore. We would have missed the chance because of the lockdown. But our homeschool provider was able to make it happen. It wasn\u2019t face to face. As with everything, we had to do it online. But I think the excitement and feeling of proudness are just the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Doing things online isn\u2019t so bad. Kids don\u2019t really have to sit still during the whole ceremony if they don\u2019t want to. ^_^<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Time flies by so fast that you just get so startled by how things have changed. How my little Light has turned into this bright young girl. And somehow I forget. I forget that she is still young. I shouldn\u2019t expect so much of her.<\/p>\n

Now we are starting her school year as a second grader. Just like that. She\u2019s read lots of books (the Magic Treehouse series, Narnia, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes). She consumes it all. Maybe it\u2019s one of the reasons her eyes got bad that she now needs glasses. But you know, that\u2019s expected as my husband and I both wear glasses, too. Check out her first visit to the eye doctor below!<\/p>\n
