You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely... song by Mariah Carey
Lately, I can't stop looking at her just mesmerized at how fast she's grown. In her case, grown is an understatement. She is quite tall for her age. Already 4 feet and only 5 years old. This child that I carried for 9 months, cradled in my arms like a little angel unaware of the world around her, will soon spread her wings and see the world on her own for the first time. Friends and acquaintances forewarned me of this ugly separation anxiety that is a "natural" occurrence at the first day of school. I told myself that I'm pretty sure I won't get it, that my husband will get the full brunt of it more than anyone else.
My husband who by fate became a full-time stay at home dad. Who spent more time being at home with her. I'm sure this change will get to him and to me somehow. But I'm sure it will be short-lived. We'll all move on and get use to this new phase in our lives. I'm sure it won't be an overnight success but we'll do what we can.
As for me, I'm bracing myself from the perils, gories, glories and what-nots of finally becoming a parent of a child that goes to school. It's a start of a whole new world, this IS for sure and tomorrow seals the deal. My soon-to-be Kindergarten and I are going shopping and taking advantage of the tax-free weekend. Oh joy!

In two weeks, I will be an official parent of a Kindergarten. I could not believe it! It hasn't totally dawned on me yet that my baby is no longer. In my heart, she will always be, probably even when she's 35 years old!

Forever my baby...I Love you always Anak!
Indeed my baby is a big kid now but no matter how old she gets, she will always be my baby...
