Mom Shows Up at Field Day

How many of you have children? Oh looks like everyone here, well that’s good. So have you ever felt like you’ve shown up or did something that shamed your child somehow? This morning I got a call from a neighbor asking if I was going to show up at the School’s Field day. I quickly came up with a plan in order to get down there and surprise my two oldest. BalletGirl (age was still disappointed that I’d never shown up at the school for lunch, but in all fairness the school told me I couldn’t bring the younger children.

She was all smiles when she saw us waiting at the entrance, however she’d soon forget us. You could see how much fun she was having, but watching her have all this fun made me realize how much she’d grown up and in just a few years she’d be doing all that teen stuff and flipping her hair as I was watching now. Oh the heartbeats that will happen and the laughs that will be shared. The days of barbie dolls and watching Barney will soon be over, okay Barney already is but all that sweet baby girl stuff will be moving over for make up and diaries with stories of boys, I just hope she allows me a few moments of this with her. Today was a fun day, even if it had some awww moments.
