Ok I confess... the growth is actually hurting a tiny bit. Some days more than others. But it’s gratifying too because I know it’s right and good. My baby is learning so much so fast. She loves kindergarten (such as it is). She loves her teacher. She loves her little friends. She loves FaceTime, Zoom, and Marco Polo and is proficient in all three. Her drawing, reading, writing, math skills are flourishing.
The other kids are growing and learning quickly too. I mean I assume they are, since their grades seem fine! 😆 And they’re certainly getting too big for their clothes! I just did a big turnover of seasonal clothes and had to get out more hand-me-downs from the next sizes up than I’d expected. They’re all so independent and curious and smart and it amazes me to see their daily growth.
Growth is ultimately necessary - but sometimes hard to reconcile! That's why they say to take it one day at a time!
ReplyDeleteI completely feel this. Annika has her license and pretty much runs her own life. Everyone else is away at school. But I would be sad if they weren't all grown and independent. Double-edged sword I guess.
