Raise a smart and wise daughter, hoping she want do what I did, even though I know she will.

My baby, she started school!!! She has graduated from Preschool and everything.
She was such a brave girl and her brother helped her out so much, and hopefully will continue until he is moved on to the middle school.

See this is the only year that they are in the same school. This makes me feel really old, why? My life with my kids seems to keep going and I don’t stop to think about the past the past the past, I have to deal with the kids in the present, so watching them grow I don’t sit and watch from the sidelines you know, I am growing with them, that scares me.

I love this pic my son is in this too, but I just put him under the other entry. the first time I have a picture of the two of them smiling…..

I love my girl, she started preschool 2 weeks ago. she has been fully potty trained since 3 and now she keeps having accidents. stress? new surroundings? she says sorry i had a accident. I let her know it is ok, and to becareful to go in the toilet next time. at school she seems to at like a baby, with dad she does this too, with me, I am not strict but I lay down the rules. my rules are different from dad’s . she lives with me. what am I NOT doing ???? and what can I do?

to get past the clingy, both my kids have it somewhay tough, as far as the ppl in their lives, seeing dads here and there. she always wants to sleep with me(us) or in the same room, this is at times not so great, ‘no sex tonite’ and she is old enough now, she has her OWN room I feel bad for her and give in, plus its so much easier no cring and everyone goes to sleep.if I put her in her bed during the nite she comes back. if I stay in the same room she’ll wake up go potty, or just wake up, see me, and fall back asleep. my son does this too. what am I doing wrong? I like them to know there are safe and I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE! getting then past this is hard.

my big girl….but she’s still says she’s my baby. Her dad and I have been divorced for almost 2 years and seperated for 3, and she sees us both like every other day, 1/2 and 1/2( that way he THINKS he doesn’t have to pay$$) anyway, she gets time out @ moms house and knows what NO means… but dad has know Idea of these things.. How can I teach her and him (ha) that she needs structure? I know she needs both mom and dad, but her schedule is so crazy. I don’t know how to do this one? I want her to be with me during the week and dads during the weekend… he likes the way it is.. I start school and soon my son too, I want her to go to preschool but he is unwilling to help out by picking her up, thinking she doesn’t need a few hours blah blah, I think/know she needs to have her age kids to play with PLUS the learning. so how do I get him to understand that and let go and not want to be mean and vindictive and make things even harder…. AAAGHHHHH!

and she is already so smart, she just makes me laugh and smile I want the world for her, and her to know that it’s a GOOD world and can be full of good people, but I also want her to know that hopes goals, and dreams should be reached not matter what is in the way…. I want her to find a love, that treats her right. I want all the good things for her, and then somemore….
