My youngest is almost five and she has become quite independant. We went through  a clingy period in the winter but now it seems, in her mind at least, I’m not needed.

Last night was an outdoor movie night at my boys school. A great fundraiser, by the way, you paid to get in and get pizza and there was a DJ playing music till it got dark enough for the movie. I was surprised at the dance moves some of the gradeschool girls knew. Not looking forward to teenage years even more so when they move like that now!

Anyway, while it was dark, my little one decided she was going to sit up front with the big kids. A couple minutes later she wandered back and sat down next to me. I thought she missed Mommy and just wanted to be near me, so I invited her to sit on my lap. But instead, without saying a word she leaned down, took her shoes off and wandered back to sit with the big kids.

Gone are my baby who needs Mommy days apparently, except for in the middle of the night and sick days. Then I’m still important.
