I'll admit I'm a bit lost, not only do I only have her two weeks out of the month but now she's in school all day. I feel my heart sink each week it's her dads turn, being a part-time mom is difficult. When she was two it honestly seemed easier, now she's this little person, full of ideas and questions. Her view of the world is developing and I just feel I'm going to miss something when she's away. Maybe she's going to ask a question that I could explain or offer insight to and I'll never hear that question because she has already asked her dad. I'm sure her father will answer the question just fine but it's the little things you miss when they are away.
I volunteer in her class every other Tuesday and it's a blessing, I love being there seeing her interact with the other kids and answer questions by raising her hand. It's precious to watch her enthusiasm. Hearing her say a littler prayer for the kids that are absent just warms my heart, she's learning at such an early age how important it is to be kind to one another, something I think we are loosing in society. Kids are innocent and they are giving, gracious, kind hearted little spirits that learn terrible things in this world. It's nice to try and keep her sheltered from the world, especially living in Sin City. I'm thankful we are able to send her to such a wonderful school. The tuition is steep but with the help of family and rearranging our priorities it seems to be working out, she's enrolled in a drama program as well and I think we might have the next Dakota Fanning on our hands, she's a pistol we hear. I can't wait to see her play at the end of the year, and I also can't wait to hear her sing in October. The arts are so important and thankfully she goes to music class twice a week at The Lamb of God. So far so good, she's growing up fast. I'm just trying to enjoy each day, and not let her see the tears I shed while watching her grow ;)
These are the things no one can explain to you about raising children, it's tough and when your in the trenches you just want it to pass but at some point you realize life goes by so fast, just enjoy each moment. We are only given a short time to spend with those we love, so hug someone you love and tell them how much they mean to you today.
