It is official, I am the parent of a first grader. It is amazing how fast the time goes by. Just when I start to think that my daughter is still my little baby, she will try a new quote out for size. You would think she is learning these things from school but then I realize that Hannah Montana isn't really the best influence. Several months ago when Eric and I were talking, my precious little daughter at age 5 told me to "Build a Bridge and Get Over it." How am I supposed to react without laughing? Yesterday while I was organizing the office I said outloud (to my usually helpful daughter) that I needed a garbage bag. Hoping that I would be getting an "I'll go get one mommy!" Instead I got a "Well you've got two hands, go get one yourself!" Oh, just one little look and she was begging at my knees for forgiveness. I am not always that powerful but you know she was just trying to see if she could get away with it. Well.....she didn't.
Other than intermittant trials for independance, I would say that I feel blessed that I have it so easy. Allison is so fun loving and loves to entertain. She has the persistance and drive to do what she wants when she wants, but I just keep reminding myself that persistance is a virtue and a desired quality of an individual....atleast when they get older. I love having a child that can express her feelings so I know everything she is thinking.....we are still working on pausing to let someone else talk for once. I could complain about little ways my child tries my patience, but then I realize that all the little things are the things I will remember the most and I am thankful for every one of them.
my little miracle-just wanted to share it

LOL, I love your daughter, she's a freakin' crack up. I too realized Hannah Montana, although cute, was not for our household. I'm gonna love your postings, I can tell already!!!!
Okay, I am slightly starting to feel like a blog stocker. But it is just that Liv posted our maiden names on her blog and I was like "hey! I know them!". So I stopped in to see how you are doing. Loved this post. You are sooo blessed. Your daughter is so lucky to have you! And yes, my six year old has given me the "build a bridge" line too... gotta laugh :)
