AWWW Moments

I have had a few of these here recently thinking back over the past almost 5 years.
August 6th came and went with a lot of tears..Then August 8th came and went too.That was ESH's due date but thanks to my wonderful hubby and his BIG MOUTH..She was forced out later in the month.2 weeks to be exact.And it wasn't pretty y'all! Anyway..I'll blog that later.
So here I sit one week into school starting back...My baby isn't a baby anymore.She may look like it compared to most of her Kindergartner friends but she isn't.
I told her that she was going to Miss Ma'am's birthday party at the end of the month.She told me that she was going to buy her something with the birthday money she gets.I told her no it was hers to spend that we would give her more to buy a present with.She is insisting that she uses HER money at Disney for her.So we will place extra in there for her spending pleasures.
She has been taking her lunch to school.Only until she gets settled into the routine and then we can pick and choose when she wants to eat school food.Well they serve breakfast and Monday she had said she wanted to eat breakfast at school.I told her I would walk her in one last time and then Tuesday she could.Well Tuesday morning she didn't let me forget.We grabbed lunch bag and backpack and were on the way out the door.She got out of the car with assistance from one of the wonderful employees of the school and off she went.I was sad seeing her walk away from me and not walking with me holding my hand like the little thing she was just a short week before.Big backpack and lunch bag and the back of her little self walking into that big school alone was a little overwhelming to me.I couldn't help but to worry if she was going to sit alone in there to eat.If she would be sitting with kids she didn't know just to have someone to talk to ... or if they would push her away because she was an annoying little kid...I got a lump in my throat worrying about her.I know she is very social and some kids just aren't.She will make friends with anyone and doesn't discriminate.She is a social butterfly and has a wonderful outgoing personality.And I just don't want to see her be pushed away.
So anxiously waiting to get her from school ... I loaded up my book and cell phone to have something to do in that long ole line.She came running to the car with her new friends' mom and she helped her into the car and the new friends mom said she is such a sweetheart and the 2 girls are becoming quiet the BFF's.
On the way home I asked the question I was dying to know the answer to.SO how was breakfast...? The reply wasn't something I expected *well yeh I would have but I expected a fine*...She said she was "MAD".I asked why...?She said because they didn't have any of those round things that I like with my chicken biscuits?I was like *CONFUSED LOOK* Hashrounds? She said YES !! I said well baby you didn't have Chick Fil A for breakfast you had school breakfast...And she said well what's for breakfast tomorrow?I replyed with Grits/eggs and toast.She said I think I am going to go back because I don't know what eggs taste like and I love toast.She never mentioned sitting alone or being teased or what happened.She thinks that everybody is her friends.So I guess it isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

A few weeks ago she said that she was going to have 21 kids and live with me and Daddie forever.I told her no way..She better be married,successful and out of my house before having kids.And to only have ONE!She said that she would bring them to my house only one at a time :) Yesterday on the way back from cheer she said she was going to move into the purple house across the street from us so she would still be close.Because you are family forever.Mommie's and Daddie's keep their kids forever and Kids keep their Mommie's and Daddie's forever.And she didn't ever want to leave our house.She said that when she moved into the purple house she would bring her baby over but wouldn't drive but get a 3 person bike.I said OK :)

She has been saying for about year now that she wants to be a vetrinarian.So when we took Brownie to the vet she told the vet all about what she wants to do when she grows up.And with encouragment from her she told us she told her parents at 3 also that is what she wanted to do and look at where she is now...So we can only hope and pray she keeps this dream!

Summer is over and now the house is quiet.All I hear is the sound of my ceiling fan and the dryer.It is a nice break but I do miss my baby!!

How adorable is Miss E! I just laughed out loud at the 21 kid plan. Vastly different than one, eh? :)
She'd make a fabulous veterinarian. I hope when I have a kid or kids, they are as sweet and adorable as your little miss. :)
