I can't believe my little girl is growing up! She has only ever been
my baby and now all of a sudden she
is a toddler! I'm so proud of her growth, but I also feel sad to see her become more independent because I know that she is one step closer to going
off to college.
Last Sunday Jane went to Nursery.
(For those of you counting, it is 1 month early, but I have connections...don't tell...) I have been
dreaming of this day for many, many months and was counting down the days until she could go.
Scott and I are both very busy during church and we were excited to have Jane go to Nursery so we could focus more on the tasks we needed to accomplish. But as I was walking her to Nursery I was getting a little
teary-eyed knowing that my little baby was big enough to be on her own (well, you know, along with 10 other kids and 2-3 adults). A few times during the hour and 45 minutes that she was "alone" I almost started crying again. And now, even as I write about it I'm tearing up.
Is this normal?!? I even spied on her 2 times during that hour and 45 minutes, for about 5 minutes each, by
looking through the tiny peepholes they have in all the Nursery doors. It was so cute to see her interact with other kids.
I saw her chase a ball and have a boy steal it from her. Then she sat, defeated on the floor for a minute. That poor girl, she isn't used to standing up for herself. I don't fight over her toys with her at home. She has full domain being
the oldest of 1. But this will make her stronger. And me.
I am going to be a wreck when she goes to kindergarten. Watch out for the water-works! "Man the pumps!"
