A's teacher read eric carle's "a house for hermit crab" today and explained to the kids how they need to move on and have grown so much. ugh... i know how true that is and i know it's a good thing. i read a book about being a "big girl" mom and being a "big girl" as our children transition through normal phases of life. i am okay with the whole thing, but it does bring new perspective into my life and... well she's growing up. my baby who finally rolled over after a week of going half way and landing back on her back... my toddler who said, "pick you up" with her arms up toward you when she wanted to be lifted up... my 2 year old who sat at the chicago airport crying and telling me to go back to jakarta to get daddy... my little girl who told me, "mommy, God told me we should move back to indonesia"... my girl who read me a book before she went to bed... my daughter who rubs my back when i tell her i'm tired, just like she likes it (i secretly love it too)... mmm... i'm really lucky to have such a wonderful girl!! and i'm so blessed at how God has grown her this year and look forward to seeing what God has in store for her... but it's a bitter sweet moment for me...
so from a half day kindergarten class... my daughter will be going to a full day first grade, lunch eating student... (deep breath)... i love this girl!!!
