Preschool Skills!

It's amazing how fast kids can acquire new skills. Being a stay at home mom, I have  barley missed a thing that my girls begin to do. After preschool today, Lacy was just DYING to show me what she learned to do. Adjusting to your child mastering skills while at school is bittersweet. It's so exciting to see your child bursting with pride when they accomplish something that you both know took a lot of work, but at the same time it's so hard to be missing their 'journey' to conquering their new skill. None-the-less, I was excited with Lacy at her new preschool skill. This is a BIg deal, as Lacy has been extremely physically cautious and to see her blossoming is just a massive blessing. Whether I was along for the journey this time or not...WAY TO GO LACY!

Enjoyed seeing this on your FB. As much as it is nice to have one on one time with younger siblings, it is hard when our older ones go to school. This is why I volunteer every week in Erin & Libby's classroom, you get to know the teachers/friends/see their work on the walls/observe them in a different environment, it's just a blast and an opportunity I cherish. Erin and Libby don't even want me to walk them to class any more, they just leave at the school office each morning, I have to remind myself that I am raising them to be independent as two big girls run off to class with their backpacks bouncing up and down. sob. sob. Only 10 years until Erin goes to college .... !
