Lately I have been thinking a lot about life. Life in general and about getting older. The girls getting older, me getting older and that contrary to my thoughts a couple of years ago I actually enjoy it. Okay - the girls getting older that is :) I also enjoy my added experiences that come along with aging, but I certainly do not enjoy the additional grey hair, wrinkles etc. Now that I have that straightend out let me tell you what I have been thinking. And yes, this post has nothing to do with Galactosemia. Just plain old mothership thoughts...
Alena first started Preschool when she was 3. My cute little pumpkin and I looked around in the school wow all those huge kids. Yes, I kid you not I registered all kids older than 3 or 4 as huge kids. Those huge kids certainly were not cute, only the littles. I was all consumed by melancholy realizing that soon my cute tiny little pumpkin would be one of those huge kids. Oh, what would I do??? Now fast forward to 2010. Alena is now in Kindergarten at the same school. The Kindergartener's are the oldest children attending the school. Oh, and how cute they are. Every single one of them and there are also the little kids. Even Mia Rosie is no longer a "little". I am so excited that Alena is now a big kid. She is learning to read and write. We can have great conversation, we talk about books, animals, nature....oh all the wonderful things. It is so exciting to see her as well as Mia Rosie grow, and see how they develop into these wonderful individuals. All the previous years just weave into this fantastic tapestry...now if I could only figure out how to add music to this post because surely I would be playing "Tapestry" by Carole King...Yes, I am not kidding - I totally would and I love Carole King :) - There is one side note I would like to make...the thought of Galactosemia, or metabolic disorder never crosses my mind. There is no difference between our children, and somebody else's children...
I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day.
