Kindergarten! Gasp!

A couple of nights ago, I was lying in bed trying to detox my brain enough to allow me to go to sleep, when I was hit with the blunt force of how quickly my little Miss Mya is growing up. Why was this so shocking to me? Why did my heart ache over the fact that she is progressing and moving forward? Why did I tear up at the fact that 2 years from now I will be taking her to kindergarten? I always envisioned myself as the mom that kept her composure when she dropped her little girl off at school...now I'm not so sure. I might be the blubbering idiot that cries all the way home in the car.

I love my little lady with all my heart can possibly give. I am amazed at the little person she is becoming. She has become more loving, freely giving me more hugs and I hear 'I like you' many times over. She even consented to snuggle with me one day before work with little to no bribery or coercion. These moments are such a joy, when in the stillness you realize how completely you love them. Those are the moments when I receive the tiniest glimpse of how very much my Heavenly Father must love each of us.

Mya, I love your facial expressions. How your eyebrows change and say just as much as your words. I love that you and I carry on conversations, even when more often than not our conversations don't make much sense. I love that you being so much kinder to your little Sadie. I love when I listen to you both giggling in my bed hiding under the covers. I'm sorry that I gave you my 'scaredy cat kitty gene', but a cautious nature isn't the worst trait. I hope that the stubborn streak your dad gave you will drive you to work hard and achieve your dreams. You are a daughter of our Heavenly Father who loves you. He loves you even more than your daddy and I love you, and that is a lot!
