What I say that is...
The other night, Matt and the kids were outside playing, and for some odd reason, I found it necessary to vacuum. So I stayed inside cleaning, while the neighborhood was full of life. How insane is that???
Anyway, Monique (a neighbor of mine across the street) and I were talking last night. She told me that she wished I would have come out, but had a great conversation with Katherine. Monique knows a little boy in her preschool class, so she was asking her all about it. She then asks her if she's excited for Kindergarten next year and reminds her that it's an all day program. Katherine then tells her, that she's not sure if she's going..... The reason... her mommy probably won't want her to be gone for so long and would miss her too much. Admittedly, it's completely true, but I don't tell her that. I have mentioned it here in the blog, and to countless friends, but NEVER in front of her.... It just broke my heart.
So last night with tears in my eyes, I felt horrible. Going to kindergarten will be such an exciting time in her life, and my biggest fear is that I'll ruin it for her. I want her to be excited. It's such a milestone in her life, and I don't want her to fear the change. But yes -- I'll miss her. I'm not going to lie, it'll be one of the toughest days in my life. She doesn't need to know that though....

Maybe you didn't say anything . . . maybe she said that because she knows she will miss you. So sweet of her to say though.
You know, this is proof that you are a wonderful parent. The love is evident. So sweet.
