We had our first Kindergarten Play Day on Monday for St. Al's. I think I was more nervous than Cara was. She did awesome. I cannot even begin to convey how proud I was of her. There was no shyness or timidness. She just jumped right in. This makes me feel like she is ready for this new phase of her life. I am not, but I am sure some day I will be.
Right now I just see her getting bigger and more mature and while I love it, it makes me sad too. So I cuddle with her a little more. Hold her whenever she wants me to. Really just absorbing those moments because I know one day she won't be willing to crawl up in my lap and let me cuddle with her.
She is an amazing kid. I look forward to seeing where life takes her.
I am scared for her too, but do my best to hide it. The world is a big, intimidating place. Kids and adults are not always nice or trustworthy. I am trying to help maintain her view of the world that is simple and sweet and loving, while also preparing her for the not so great aspects of life.
I love my girl. She is smart and strong and sweet. I watch her be gentle and kind to others and it melts my heart. Kindergarten will be great, I know. She will flourish and grow. I just need to hold on for the ride.
