Spend more time with my daughter

since my break up last april i have been spending nearly everyday with my daughter and i can honestly say that i have learned so much about her!!! she is so incredibly smart, she makes me proud to be her mommy =-D

Been to pottery with her twic now

and luch
and watched a film

signed up for a pottery class in October

it has been a good summer we have spent a lot of time together….good quality time. i cant beleive she starts school this coming wednesday!

she is back from vacation and looks like she grew at least an inch. it is nice to have her home again. she brings such life and energy to the house! we are going to go see Kung Fu Panda tomorrow.

she is away for 2 weeks in wisconsin i am sure having a ball with her cousins..it is just quiet around here without her.

i have really been enjoying my summer with my daughter. she is growing up so fast. 12.5 years old now!! where does the time go.

we just spent a week at the beach and it was fun. she taught be how to play donkey kong and i taught her backgammon.
i am currently seperated and will take this time to really spend quality time with her…and hope my relationship works out.

Since I have written this (2 days ago!) I decided that I would find time to spend with my daughter…So since she is six, I had bought her some learning books (she is starting to read, just needs to take the leap into doing it-I guess confidence wise) and we have worked in the books for two days together and she is doing awesome! (this may make me sound absolutely terrible as a mother, but….) I never knew she could read as well as she could, she just needed to spend some more time on it! So now I’m going to spend at least a half an hour working with her so when she gets into first grade, she can be above the rest of the class! ;-)

SO instead of working all day, today I’m going to play games with her and read her stories. One day she will be grown up and I will regret the times that I did not take all the time of the world to connect with her!
