Kallie's growing up

Kallie,

Today it happened. 

Everyday since you started pre-school, when I took you to school I would hold your hand. I held your hand all through kindergarten and 1st grade but I always wondered when you would decide that you didn't want to hold my hand at school. 

Today as I walked you to your classroom I tried to grab your hand and your arm pulled away a bit and you looked around to see if your friends saw. I asked if you didn't want to hold my hand and you just nodded, somewhat dodging the question.

This is a great day and a sad day because I know it just shows you are growing up and becoming your own person, but that also means you grow a little away from me.

Later on today, I showed up at your field trip and you ran up and gave me a big hug like usual, so I know that everything will be alright. 


Maryn, 

I am not sure when this will happen with you. It might be next week or in college, but I know when you decide there will be no hesitation and you will let me know the rules.

Love you girls.
