My baby!

Hello!
I just got a call from Kens preschool reminding me that its almost time to register her for..KINDERGARTEN!.. Of course I tear’d up when she said that I can’t believe my baby will be in kindergarten soon. Me and Scott do have a big decision on our hands though, She can go to kindergarten a bit earlier because she will be at the right level however she will most likely be the youngest in the class or we can wait. So far Scott and I are leaning towards waiting. If it shows to be too easy then she can just go to the advanced Kindergarten class. Did they have all these when we were kids? I may have been just 5 but it seems like there was just one kindergarten class, no advanced kindergarten no normal kindergarten… just one they throw you into and say good luck! God I can’t believe how fast it goes. When your pregnant everyone tells you, “it goes so fast enjoy it” and you say yeah, blah blah because really you don’t even know what’s what when you are pregnant with the first baby. But now that I’m in the middle of planning her 3rd birthday I really cant fathom that I have been blessed already with 3 years of Kendra. It seems like a second. Of course there are those times where it seems like an eternity lol but then she smiles or says randomly “I love you mama” and then it goes back to a second. I was looking at her the other day as she is practicing writing her letters (she is working really hard to get “A” correct and has quite a few down pretty well) and she’s talking to me, explaining to me how she is going to try to write the “A” this time and I again, tear’d up. She is now this wonderful big girl who can explain an order of how things will go, who can say her alphabet, write letters and count to 20 and she can re tell stories and she now sings along with songs on the radio and tell me what she wants and use the potty and…the list goes on and its amazing because not long ago I was teaching her to walk and to say “mama” and “dada”, “baba”, “dog” and now she’s giving me a logical explanation on how she is going to try to tackle the “A” this time and tell and even show me how she did it last time followed by a “that dint work las’ time” She’s amazing. I am enjoying and relishing every single dingle second with my baby. I know she wont be my only baby for long but I think She will always be my favorite - I only say this because I don’t have another kid yet and I’m sure they will all be my favorites but I think Kendra and I will be the closest, like my mother and I. We have always shared a very close bond and I see a lot of me and Kendra in me and my mother if that makes any sense what so ever lol :P But I Love my girl and my advice to moms out there, we all have days where we just want to go home and veg on the couch and when our kids ask us to go play or go do this, don’t tell them later, just go do it. not only does it really help you forget the stressful day you had but it is the best gift you can give your babies and yourself. You are never going to get this time back. When they are teenagers or getting married or having babies of their own you are going to wish you spent just that extra few hours with them when they were this age. Being a mother is very hard. It’s a new challenge everyday, your patience, will power, strength, sleep, gag reflexes…they are all challenge but that is nothing compared to those times when they look at you and smile or say they love you or hug you tight. All that is bad in the world becomes so small and you and that little being you made are the only ones that matter.
Okay enough of the mushy stuff, it makes me miss my baby! Last night Hec got back from the Giants game at about 6, we got a snack packed and the we were off to his baseball game. It was a really good game actually, usually I’m just there to support Hec and talk with the other moms and newly expecting moms but the game was tied all the way to the end then we made 1..2…3…4…5…6 home runs it was great. Even Kendra was cheering and jumping up and down. It was lots of fun. I missed the Lost Finale!!!! Hec wanted to go with some buddies and celebrate but I wanted to get Kendra home and I don’t like her in those kinds of environments so me and her went home, I laid her in bed, made dinner then she wanted me to lay with her so I did…and fell asleep in 2.3 seconds. Hec came home and woke me up but it was already 30mins into Lost so we just figure we will catch it when Comcast puts in on demand. BOOOO I’m sad I missed it!
Good News, my Papa is headed home today! They put a few splints in his heart and told him he’s got to quit smoking again..we will see how that goes! Lol but I think we will go visit this weekend. And I have yet to serve Scott the divorce papers! I KNOW! My moms on me about it too lol. I will try to get travis to come over and do it but he is scared lol he thinks Scott’s going to go off on him. But Scott Knows it coming and is okay with that. Alright its 20mins past my lunch time lol…whoops!
