transition point

So, I have had so many things going on in my life here lately that a moment that needs to be mentioned almost slipped past without an acknowledgement on my blog! My first born miracle baby Aidyn Kate not only turned 5 last week, but also registers for Kindergarten in the morning. HOLY COW! I started this blog to chronicle my transition from a self focused, determined, and ambitious young women to a multi-tasking, crafting, cleaning, green minded, mother and wife. It has been a rocky road at time, but I feel like I have really accomplished a lot in my personal journey of “finding myself” this past year. I have learned so much through many circumstances that the Lord has placed me in. I couldn’t always see it at the time but looking back I can see how wonderful even many of my struggles have been.  So tomorrow is a major event in the timeline of me being a Mommy. I will register Aidyn Kate to begin the next phase of her little life. I will be getting ready to send her off to school Monday-Friday for hopefully the next 13 years of her life. I can’t believe that the formative years of her childhood spent at home each day are nearing an end. Sure pre-school has been a necessary part of socialization but she will never be a baby- allowed to sleep in, allowed to create, and free play, to lay around if she wants, to eat when she wants, etc again. Wow how the time has flown. I feel like it is such a bittersweet moment in my life. I am excited at the endless possibilities her little life possesses. I am in awe of her vigor and zest for life- her endless energy. I am jealous of her incredible wonder of things surrounding us in our daily lives- leaves, horses, worms, cooking, swimming in the bathtub, sleepovers in tents inside, and her precious unquestioning faith and love of God. 

Tomorrow’s agenda includes a yummy laid back breakfast, a new outfit, singing together, pedicures together, and school registration. Then it is off to work for me and back to preschool for her. I hope that as she grows she will remember the fun and excitement of the morning together and not the part where I leave her once again to drive away to work.  That is definitely one part that still hasn’t gotten any easier.
