School is about to start for my third grader. Im excited for her but I will miss our conversations and late night christmas movie watching. She's so excited and wants to talk about it daily...hourly... ok every stinking minute and its driving me bonkers. She reminds me of myself. Already has the shoes clothes and hair stuff picked out. Back pack ready sans the lunch. Im excited for this year. She has requested that if she gets straight A's again all year that she receives $100 instead of $50. I bit my tongue and agreed. I know I will have to start putting away money for her. She's a very smart girl, so much smarter than me in so many ways.
Emma's 1st birthday is approaching. While we aren't going to celebrate her birthday "big" until Daddy comes home. Haylee and I have done something just for her. I can't believe she is going to be 1 year old. My pregnancy with her went by so fast, her first year went by even faster. And a little less painful too. At her 9 month (closer to 10) check up she weighed 23lbs. Im curious to see if my ham bone has thinned out a little do to all the crawling, scooting, cruising she is doing. Not yet walking but her daddy's wish just might come true. He wanted her to not walk until he got home. We shall see. At this point Im ok with it. No pressure. Just continue to be my baby.
