Thanks for Polly




Gosh, I love my little caboose. She is hilarious and kind and generous and loud and silly and smart and brave. I LOVE having her near me every single day. I think I would have had a hard time having any of my other kindergarteners at home all day, in part because I always had a baby. 




Despite our constant proximity, I still worry a little sometimes that I’m neglecting her and that she’s growing up too fast: case in point, we rented out a movie theater for our family right before Thanksgiving (a fun treat, and only $100) to watch Guardians of the Galaxy. Why did we think that movie was appropriate for a 5-year-old? It’s totally not. Within a few minutes Polly was on my lap covering her eyes, and within a few minutes after that, she was watching Hannah Montana (?!) on my phone wearing Matt’s earbuds and probably destroying her eardrums. So many things wrong with that situation. Who even am I??




But regardless of any missteps, I think that’s just unwelcome mom guilt. Polly will be fine. (Right?? 😂) I am so so so thankful for her.

Polly is the best - and we all make missteps - who knew - I think Dad and I watched Guardians - but I can't recall much about it!

This is definitely an experience your family will always remember
