Aqua Sport

Today is Anja's first day of Aqua Sport.  She gets to spend all day at the pool.  The camp runs through the month of July.  She has been counting down the days for this to start.  I am excited to pick her up and find out how her day went.  I am expecting to see an exhausted but happy little girl.  It makes me a bit sad when I think about her being gone all day.  It reminds me of what is coming up with first grade this fall.  She is such a wonderful presence in our house that we can tell something is definitely missing when she is not here.  I know it is part of growing up, but does it have to happen so quickly????
