Growing Up Sucks...

So I'm going through a little bit of a growing pain right now...I'm HATING that my baby is growing up. As you can see from the below pictures Nali is growing to be a beautiful little girl. She tells me all the time that she doesn't want to grow up and I reasure her that she'll always be my baby. In a few weeks she starts pre-school. She will be gone for 3 mornings a week. I'm DREADING this and have shed a few tears over the issue. There is a HUGE part of me that doesn't want to send her and thinks I'll just do Kindergarten next year with her. The problem with that is that I know that she needs to go. She needs the socialization and the structure. It's like getting your childs immunizations. You HATE doing it but you would never not do them. Nali is very excited about going to her school with Miss Pam the only problem is I'm just going to miss her. She is the light of my life...she is such a joy. We have great times together. Somedays she'll say to me "Mom lets go running!" So we'll go run around the block a few times. She loves listening to the killers, gwen stefani etc. She LOVES watching So You Think You Can Dance with me and ask almost everyday..."Is the dancing show on today?" She LOVES dancing. There's nothing like picking up your daughter from her year end show and having her run out and say "Did you see me??? Did you see me???" She LOVES Waterton probably as much as I do. When I was expecting Ella we were in the Dr's office for a check up and Nali said to me "We have to take the baby to Waterton!" What a girl. I love you Nali! Thanks for coming to our family!
