TK.......here I come!
I knew I was going to be a mess today.....I am so silly.
I mean, I am the one who wanted her to go to school forever now.....
and now that it is here,
I am happy and excited and nervous for her.
She has been so emotional lately. The other day we were watching High School Musical II and it was a scene where Gabriella and Troy were basically breaking up. I looked at her and she had tears in her eyes. I asked her if she was alright and she told me she was just really sad because of the song they were singing. She said she knew that Troy was really sad about what Gabriella was singing. So I explained that it was natural to feel sad when we read, or hear, or see something sad. It just means that we have compassion and in some ways prepares us for things that may happen in our lives. She just went with it and fully started to cry. But, she did not want me to turn off the movie....she wanted to experience it.
I was so proud of her, but my heart ached seeing her allowing herself to be so sad for these fictional characters. It gave me a glimpse of what she may have to deal with one day once she gets older and struggles in life with friends, teachers, and one day a partner.....we can love our children in a way that can not be described, just experienced......but we are not able to protect them from everything....and that is quite scary, but such a blessing to see how they deal with things on their own. I am fully crying right now. Little brat....she is probably picking her nose in class right now and here I am sobbing like a baby!
