Often I wonder where my day has gone or the week or even the month. Tonight I wonder where my time with Anna went... One day I was looking down at this sweet baby and then next thing you know, she's going to school. Preschool was one thing, sure, but school, school? Really?
Oh, I look at who she has become and I am so proud. She is such a beautiful, warm-hearted, strawberry blonde, freckle sporting, up and coming competitor who loves to tell a good joke. I am sooo happy that I made the choice 5 3/4 years ago to stay home with my Anna Banana Girl. I love her so much that it makes my heart hurt and happy all in one big beat. And when she tells us that she's never going to get married and live with mommy and daddy forever, I just wish I could bottle that up and hold on to it. Because right now, right now, we're what she needs, just what she needs. And so on Wednesday when we walk her to school, I'm going to try my very, very hardest to stay brave and in control of the tears. I want her to see me happy and proud. I want her to stay happy and brave and not sad. But as soon as we turn the corner, that's another story- let the flood gates open.
Thanking God that He gave us our precious gift, Anna Mae...
