It's been a while since I've put anything here. While a lot has happened, it's also been quiet.
The kiddo started third grade. She is/was so excited about having a "real math book" instead of just the workbook she used to have. She feels like a teenager!
She almost learned to ride her bike without training wheels. It's a thing we should have pushed for ages ago but she was always too afraid and here we are, nearly 9, and still not riding a bike. She has gotten close though.
She no longer takes her favorite stuffed bulldog to school daily (only when a toy is permitted).
She's nearly as tall as I am and it saddens me because I see her changing mentally, emotionally, and physically.
I don't recall if she lost another tooth and if she did, did I post about it? Anyway, we've done a follow-up appointment at the orthodontist.
Due to lack of coaches and volunteers for cross country, she isn't eligible to run this year (she is thrilled). She should start a boot camp for Krav, very soon though, so running will still occur.
The other day she asked me what her first word was and for the love of everything wonderful, I cannot remember. I thought it was here in this blog and it wasn't. I sure hoped I'd write enough down that one day she'd say, "mom when did I first learn to do ...xyz...?", if I didn't know I could look here. Put that down as a mom fail!
Speaking of mom fail, the other day I was snooping in the kiddo's social media app and accidentally sent a horrible selfie to all of her contacts. WHOOPSIE!
Funny to everyone but me and the kid.
Well, here's to the beginning of a great new school year and hopefully more posts.
