School is starting soon - can you believe it? Summer seems to have flown by! Aiden is so ready to start 1st grade. He is counting down the days! I have to admit that I am excited for him - he loves to learn and does very well with routine. Olivia recently turned 4, so I have been looking forward to her last year of freedom before she starts kindergarten. I have been mentally planning things for us to do while Aiden was in school; you know typical mother/daughter bonding things.
Evidently, Olivia had other plans! Friday morning she came to me with some interesting information. "Mom, I want to go to school" she told me with a huge giddy smile on her face. I had to ask her to repeat herself because I could not believe it. My baby?? Go to school?? No way! I have plans for us!
So, like any good mom would do I gently let her know what that meant. "Baby Doll, do you know that when you go to school, you are gone all day?"
"Yep momma! I want to go to school!"
Never one to give up easily, I tried again "Olivia, all day everyday? Just like bubba?"
"YES Momma! I want to go to school" She flashes those big brown puppy dog eyes and winning smile - what more could I do??
"Okay Olivia. Let me see what I need to do to register you! I am so proud of you, you are such a big girl!"
"Thank you Momma!!" Runs off yelling to no one in particular, "I am gonna go to school!"
As I sit in the office crying that my baby is growing up, Abel reminds me that we can not keep her little forever, I try to explain that I was not asking forever, just for one more year. Even so, I know this will be a great thing for her, I just need some time to adjust to this!
