how quickly time flies. i can still remember the day i found out i was pregnant like it happened yesterday. i have to admit, i freaked out when i found out i was pregnant. i wasn't ready for it. i didn't want to get pregnant 3 months after getting married. i wanted to enjoy being a wife before i became a mother. but god was trying to make a point. it was time i stop thinking about me, me, and me. it was time for him to teach me about a different kind of love. as the days turned into weeks,and the weeks into months leading up to michelle's birth, god taught me to be a capable and loving parent.
fast forward to 46 months later...at 3 3/4 years old, michelle is getting ready for her first day at pre-school. she's spent about 2 1/2 years in day care with just a couple of kids and she's surrounded by older kids and 2 younger children at church. but she's never been in 'classroom' set up with a dozen other kids in her class and a couple hundred older kids. i wonder what her first reaction would be? how will the other kids react to her being around? i am more anxious than she is. at least she'll have one familiar face in her class. her friend, angelo (tiray's nephew), goes to the same school and will be in the same class.
we'll see how her first day goes.
on another michelle update, she's been sleeping ALONE in her own room for the last 5 nights. she gained self confidence when i told her one morning that she slept in her room but that i missed her so much that i picked her up early in the morning and brought her back to bed with me. she said, 'really mommy? i slept in my room?! YES!!!!' the following evening, when we told her she's sleeping in her room by herself, she didn't put up much of a fight. after 3 bedtime stories, she fell asleep and i walked back to our bedroom next door. she woke up at around 4 am the first two nights (we still use the baby monitor so we can hear her if she wakes up) and paul and i went in to put her back to bed. after those two nights, she's been sleeping soundly on her bed, in her room...in fact she slept so soundly that this morning, my mom said michelle got out of bed at 10:25 am (she usually wakes up at 7:30 or 8 am). she's really growing up!!!!
