My babies are growing up and I want to cry! I am dedicating this moment of "mommy sadness" to every mom in the Inland Empire.
My
girls will be starting their very first Big Girl Gymnastics class this
week. I am so very excited for them. Now they will have the opportunity
to put to the test all the things they have been learning since they
were 18 months old. BUT….this is big girl class.
No
more singing songs and playing games before the actual practice. No
more cute frilly princess gym outfits. We need to have "serious" big
girl stuff.
I
look at these two little girls and am just blown away! Where are my
babies? Sometimes it is an amazing blessing because they have become so
independent. I see so much of my own personality and humor in them. We
crack up at the same jokes, have the same sarcasm (yes, that's
teachable) and quite honestly it's like having two little friends
around…most of the time. But these are my babies…they still need me to
sing them to sleep and cuddle with them. They still call out "Mama"
when they are scared or hurt.
Now….they
are going to "BIG GIRL" class. Ok, if you can not hear the nerves in my
voice let me do that again "BIG GIRL" class. Did you get it that time?
I know they will be fine. I know they will do amazing. I know they are ready for it emotionally and physically but… am I????
Oh man, I am not sure if giving birth to the child is the hardest part of the watching them grow up is tougher.
You
might be thinking "C'mon Christine…suck it up…be tough! It's not a big
deal". Ok, I'll admit you might be right but…..it's "BIG GIRL" class.
Oh dear!
See You in My Mailbox, Christine IE Mom Blogger
