‘Ahhhhhhh I have a 1^st grader!!!’  has been racing through my head for the past week!

 I always knew I would have children but I never thought they would grow up…I mean have a mind of their own, have an opinion!! 

Eva, my 1^st grader, certainly has her own ideas.  She paces while talking on the phone, acting like the diva- wanna be 16 year old she’s learned to be from her father ...kidding BOB!!  Dancing and singing to Carly Rae Jepsen , Eva has a confidence about her that I admire.  She loves hard and hurts easily.  She is full of words of wisdom beyond her years and often makes me tear up as she encourages me.  Who is the parent in this relationship!  Ahem…me right!?  

As she wonders what her room will be decorated like, and who all the new kids will be in her class it was like Christmas Eve last night.  She glowed with pure joy as she said Goodnight, but not without laying out her clothes for morning to be sure she had the perfect outfit.  I taught her right! 

I am sooo proud of this girl AND of course I had to be ‘that’ mom that posts a photo and writes about her kids…but hey if I don’t who will!??

Stay tuned for next years first day of school blog when I say ‘AHHHH I have a 2^nd grader and a Kindergartner’!
