By "she" I mean my little girl. By "off" I mean going somewhere important and special. By "tomorrow" I mean, well you should know what I mean. SO where is my little girl going tomorrow? To kindy. That's right, my little girl is growing up. And what a bitter sweet feeling it is to say the least.
Tonight marks my last night as a mother of two little ones who stay at home, with me, at home, during the day. Tomorrow I become the mother of two little ones, one of which is a big kindy girl, the other - the one Im no doubt going to smother until its his turn to do the same. Sigh and sob and laugh and cry all in the same breath.
So from tomorrow, I'll be packing a little school bag with an extra change of clothes every day of the week. I'll be sending her off with a little lunch box and a little drink bottle and other little things on the kindy essentials list.
I guess I never thought this day would come. I suppose spending all this time with Ash and her not having too many commitments during the day was just so much fun that I figured we would just keep it that way. I have enjoyed our time playing and doing mother daughter things, so much so that I know I will miss it a lot.
Ash has taught me a lot, mostly how to have fun and laugh and enjoy the little things in life. But kids grow up and need to branch out, its only fair that I let her spread her little wings so she can learn to fly on her own. Sigh and sob again.
First walk through the kindy gate.
First painting.
First play-dough pie.
First play-dough pie in the oven.
