So, let's be honest... We aren't sad about our children growing up, we are sad that they are becoming independent. We cheer when they say their first word, crawl, walk, use the big girl/boy potty, eat normal food, clean their room, make their bed, clean up after themselves, and so on. However, we cry when they have their first sleepover away from us, go to their first day of school/daycare, don't cry when we leave them somewhere, grow (that is really because it cost more money), make decisions on their own, don't like our suggestions, have opinions, and graduate middle school.
Today my beautiful baby girl and her besties graduated 5th grade. It is a bitter sweet moment. I am so very proud of how smart and talented our young ladies are, but Anya is not a baby anymore. Instead, she is becoming her own person.
Throughout this year Anya has gone through so many changes. Some have been exciting, some have been frustrating, and others have been more difficult to guide her through. From clothes/styles, interests, likes/dislikes, make up, overall appearance, puberty, emotions, feelings, opinions, and friends to boys... AHHHHHHHH. My head is spinning still, and just think new changes are ahead. It's very exciting, and scary all at the same time. I do know, however, that I have done the best job I can to help her deal with and go through these changes. (As you'll see throughout our blogging, I am definitely NOT a perfect mom.) My hope is that through my imperfections and all the guidance I and all her mentors (friends and family) have given and will give, will be enough to help her in making her own decisions in the future. She will make mistakes, and she will learn from them. I can't wait to see what an amazing future she will have... Although, I would be okay if it slowed down just a little =)
OMG! Leaving 5th grade, i thought it would never happen! Leaving my school, friends, teachers... was/is a sad time. My friends are leaving me, i'll (probably) never see my teacher again! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! But, as you know we do change. My friends grow up, my teachers move on, and everything slowy takes its course... this year has been a series of ups and downs. Boys are involved, Heartbreak, Betrail, Frendships, and Secrets! Everything involved in going on a new adventure starts in 5th grade! :( It's so much! It's CRAZY! But I for some unknown reason.. I CANT WAIT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL! but there will be no one to guide me, no one to help me along the way, and NO ONE TO HELP ME STAY OUT OF TROUBLE! eye yi yie! Well looks like i have some more adventures to deal with! Wish me LUCK!
