Robot Dreams

Dear Nathalie,

Tonight, while saying goodnight to everyone, Ron told you to be sure to have sweet dreams.

Ron:  Dream of sweet things like ladybugs.
Nathalie:  And castles.
Ron:  And flowers.
Nathalie:  And unicorns.
Ron:  And glitter.
Nathalie:  And ROBOTS.

Then....the dance......


Thanks for the laughs tonight.  You're the best.

Love,
Mom

First Grade is Over

Dear Nathalie, You did it. You broke my heart.  Today is the last day of 1st grade and I really thought I'd handle it well. I had you stand at the door and took your photo. You know, so I could compare your first day with your last day.  I drove you to school, dropped you off.  Everything.  Was. Fine. Then I got home. I pulled up my handy "Instacollage" app, pulled your first day photo and your last day photo into the fancy frame and WHAMMO! Instant tears. You have grown SO much in this past school year. Not only are you TALLER, but you have developed such a sharp wit. You're smart. You're a critical thinker. You're reading like crazy. And I'm so proud. And heartbroken.  It's such a joy to watch you grow and really, that's what it's all about. Raising our children so they can become good people and contribute to the world around them in positive ways. And I know you'll do just that.  But it hurts to think back to those days where you were s...

The things we do for our children.

Dear Nathalie, Your Wizard of Oz play is this evening. My plan was to drop you off and run a few errands before the play started. I was informed by your teacher that it would be wise to head over and get in line for a seat. So, here I am. I've been sitting here for close to half an hour already. On the floor. Of an elementary school hallway. It's incredibly uncomfortable and in the end, I'm almost certain that I won't even really be able to see you anyway. But, you've been working hard for this play. And even though you wanted to be Dorothy, in your mind "Oz Person" is just as sweet a role. I caught a sneak peek of you in costume heading to the stage with your friends. You look about as adorable as I expected. Break a leg kiddo. Meanwhile, I'll break my back here on the floor. Love, Mom

Mommies Get Sick Too

Dear Nathalie, I know it's hard to believe. We seem like superheros that can't be stopped ... but mommies get sick, too. I've been feeling a under the weather since Saturday night and finally went to the doctor today. I have strep throat. You were there with me when the doctor said I should keep the talking to a minimum. Immediately after we left, you were non-stop questions. I know it's not in your nature to be quiet. Or to ever. stop. talking. But really, kid, mommy needs a break. In other news, parts for the Wizard of Oz were announced on Friday. You did not get the part of Dorothy, which you seem to be totally okay with....you WILL be playing the part of "Oz Person." You're excited for this because it means I will paint your fingernails green. Also, we enjoyed "Take your daughter to work day" this year.....Photos below. You told me my job was hard and boring and that it's no wonder that I'm tired at the end of the day. (Yo...
