I wish someone would’ve told me that the best parts of having kids is when they’re 0-3 years old, after that it just gets kinda irritating =)

What a sweet, sweet post! : )
Just think though of the special time you have with her for this year before the dreaded K-word!

This looks SO GOOD. I can hardly wait to try it. And if it makes you feel any better, I recently took my 3 yr old to her 3 yr annual visit and when I got home I burst into tears because she had worn a gown, sat on the table instead of my lap, had her blood pressure taken, yada yada yada. In short, they treated her like a kid and not my baby. Needless to say my husband thought I was crazy.

I don’t have kids but I can kinda relate. Being the eldest of six kids, I’m like a second mom to all my younger siblings. I was 11 years old when my mom gave birth to her 5th and 6th child, both in one shot. Yes, she had twins when I was 11, so I instantly became a mom as well.
When they entered kindergarden, I was a Sophmore in High School. I remember my first day of my sophmore year, I was terribly stressed out, thinking about how my little bro’s were going to do. It was a terrible first day of school for me.
When I met up with them at home, they were so excited had a blast on their first day! They couldn’t wait to go to school the next day!
I stressed out for nothing and should have did what you did…Just don’t think about it!
Thanks for your story and your lovely cake!
It all makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.

Just don’t think about it – I use that line quite often!! The cake looks delicious, though and like it’s totally worth it!

Does it get easier?? Remember I cried my eyes when you all went off to college. As a former first grade teacher, I remember watching the Kindergarteners come in to school looking all spiffy and shiny and I had tears in my eyes remembering my own children’s first day of school. It is a page being turned, a door being closed, and another one being opened to new adventure for both of you. Savor each moment of every day and say something meaningful each day to your children….who knows what will be a lasting memory? Maybe a delightful, delicious coffeecake.

I don’t have any children yet, but I can only imagine the anxiety I’ll feel when they go to kindergarten! I think this coffee cake would certainly make me feel better. It sounds like a made from scratch version of a cake mix recipe I love.

It’s hard. When my baby started I cried, but then it was alright. He started having fun and I’m watching him grow and change into a reader, a writer and a boy who is really good at math!

But I’ll eat your cake just because as a mother, it’s good to know that you have support around the blogosphere. Besides, it sounds so very good!

Well now all I CAN think about is making and eating this. YUM! I think you will do fine when Kel goes to Kindergarten, imagine all the fun you and your littlest are going to have together!

I know how you are feeling… my youngest will head off to kindergarten in September. This summer he seems to have gotten older overnight – I’m trying to make sure to spend some extra time with each of my boys on their own each day. Some days work out better than others, but at least I’m trying! I agree, for the next year, don’t think about it and just enjoy the moment you are in!

Apparently those feelings don’t go away. My mom, whose children are in their 30′s and 40′s still says she wishes she could have us all small again, even just for a day. A mother’s love knows no bounds.

Always best ‘not to think about it’. Otherwise you will miss out on all of those wonderful cakes.
As a coffee and coffee cake lover I think this cake sounds wonderful.

Butter and cream cheese make everything better.

My oldest will start kinder in 4 weeks and I’ve been dreading his first day of school since THE DAY HE WAS BORN. I just hope when I take him that first day, he turns around to look at me.

I can still remember the first day of daycare for my son. As I dropped him off and got back in my car, I could hear his screaming half way down the street. I was traumatized. When he said he was moving out to go to school – I said “call once in a while”… it gets easier.

So glad I never have to send my puppy to Kindergarten, that would make me sad.

But Kindergarten is such a happy place that the kids just love so much…I am more sad when they finish Kinder and that it’s over for them becuase sadly 1st grade anymore is just business!
