Random Thoughts...

Had my first morning of alone time in 3 years!! After dropping Ella and Coop at school I enjoyed my music in the van and then enjoyed breakfast and coffee with my Mom at her house! Felt so strange actually having a conversation and not being interrupted every 30 seconds!
As my Mom said to me this morning…this is the beginning…
My Babies will always be my babies, but they are students now and have both spread their wings and started to fly!
Ella is always admiring my wedding band and engagement ring. We talk about marriage and how Mommy and Daddy are married and that the rings are a symbol of our love and commitment to each other. She always says that she’ll get a ring one day.
She just got one of her play rings and gave it to me and then told me to give her one. She then said she can marry me!
She made me smile…I guess I just married my daughter! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Just received an email from the Director of Ella and Coopers Preschool.
Ella has 18 children in her class. The school asked parents to move their child if they’d like to MWF class. No one budged. The letter stated that they decided to split the class and have 2 3 year old classes. Unfortunately Ella ended up in the class with none of her girlfriends from last year. I called and spoke to the Director and she said she would see what she could do. She said classes were picked by keeping the numbers equal at 9 per class and by personality etc.
She called and told me she was able to move Ella and she’ll be with the other girls!
I know she’s only 3 and that she’ll make tons of friends in her life but me along with the other girls parents wanted our girls to stay together…they’ve become friends and talk about each other, plus have seen each other outside of school!
So happy Grace Lutheran was able to once again make me as a parent… happy!
My children are cleaning up willingly….what’s going on?
Tonight Josh and I are headed to Ella and Cooper’s Preschool Orientation….I can’t believe I now have 2 that are in school!!! My babies are growing so quickly.
I remember this time last year and all the fear and worry I felt about Ella going to school. I am confident in saying that while I am losing my babies to school I do not have that fear or worry this year. I see how much Ella grew in the short year she was there and that come May both Ella and Cooper will have achieved and grown beyond anything I could have done for them here!
