Funny
how we can worry and worry and worry about our kids so much and then they
totally surprise you and you’re left wondering why you wasted all that time
worrying…
Marley
marched in to the Cub Club room for her test run on Friday. She walked right in, lovey in hand, and sat
down at a table where 5 other kids her age were working on art projects. The director asked me for my phone number,
confirmed whether or not Marley has food allergies, and said, “Don’t worry, she’ll
be so busy she won’t even realize you’re gone.”
And Marley never looked back at me.
No goodbye smooch, no hesitating to be left there alone, nothing….she
just sat down and started making friends.
It was the first time I really felt it…felt her growing away from me a
bit. And felt a sadness that we had
gotten here so fast.

When I
picked her up, she was sitting at a teeny little lunch table with about 8 other
kids. They were all laughing and talking
and Marley ran to me when she saw me.
Then we walked back to the cubby where she had left all her stuff and
the director told me about her time there that morning. She said Marley pushed her lovey aside about
5 minutes after I left. She described
her as very social…said she made friends instantly, was not shy to talk to the
other kids and ask questions and participate in circle time. Then she said, “She’s ready for this.” Yep, I knew it. And I was proud of my little baby girl for
being such a good person…
Now
that the test run is out of the way and we feel confident that it is the right
move for her, we’re left with sorting out the details. Much easier than the worrying part! Ahhhh!
On
Saturday I took the kids to my cousin’s baby shower in Faribault while Travis
worked. It was so fun to see all my mom’s
sisters and a few of my cousins that I only run into once a year (if
that)! My grandma had not met Jax yet…so
I snapped a photo of the little man trying to smooch her on the cheek. Two of my mom’s sisters and my grandma
mentioned something about Jax’s mouth/lips resembling my grandpa…and that made
me happy! He was a handsome man and if
my little Jaxie has some of his features I’ll consider that a blessing!!

I got
my baby fix on Sunday! Yipee! The whole fam drove down to Zak and Sam’s
house to visit baby Blakely! Of course,
the kids are too little to really get into “meeting” their new cousin….but that’s
alright! I was quite content to hold her
for 2 hours. She was snuggled up so
perfectly on my tummy. Makes me want
another one. Right. Now!
But wait, I will….we have to get Marley a little closer to kindergarten
before we can fully embark on that adventure!
For now, I’ll soak up all the cuddles with Miss Blakely. She’s perfect!!
