This morning while I was getting Aspen ready for school I couldn't help but notice the little girl that she's becoming. I told her, "Aspen, I don't want you to grow up...please don't get bigger." Her reply was, "But Mom, I have too...BUT when I get bigger, I will still be your baby." How do I argue with that?She has really blossomed over the past month. She has done a complete 180 with school. She never cries when I drop her off anymore. She even tells me she is ready to go in the morning before we are actually ready, "Can I go to school now Mommy?" I was a little worried that I would have to start all over with her after the field trip and applesauce day.
I had such a great time joining her class and making applesauce. It was actually my first time. It never worked out that I could join the boys during their applesauce day. But I knew if I didn't show up for Aspen's, she would freak. I explain to her every morning that I can NOT stay because Nature's Way is for little kids only...moms CAN'T stay. If other mommies stayed for the day and I didn't then I feared all her trust in me would be gone.
I don't think the teachers realized I had never joined though. They must have considered me an alumni because they had enough faith in me to have me in charge of making the applesauce. Luckily it came out fine :) It was really nice getting to know Aspen's first classmates...possibly future friends.
It was so nice seeing her smiling and enjoying school. The last time I saw her during circle time she was bawling and begging me to stay.
