GROWING UP FAR TOO FAST
Well the time has finally come! Our little Jilliann is now at the age where she will officially start pre-school. (my stomach is in knots) As much as I want the best for our little girl, it’s just far to soon for me to put a backpack on our little girl and send her off to pre-school. Granted, our church St. Joseph’s has a hands down awesome private school and I couldn’t be more ecstatic to have Jilliann attending their Montessori Pre-School. But as a mother, I just don’t want her to grow up. She’s at the stage where she looks to her mommy for everything and I love nothing more than being with her every step of the way. But sooner or later I won’t be putting her into pre-school anymore, I’ll soon being running around getting her supplies for the Science Far, then taking her to her first dance, and lending a shoulder when her first boyfriend breaks her heart.
Needless to say, my little Jilliann is growing up far too fast! One day I’m going to miss those moments when she runs through the door screaming “Mommy, Mommy” and to be so happy to see me. Because we all know that won’t always be the case. To have your three year old look at you as the best thing in the world, is a feeling I will always cherish.
So I’m sure as her first day of pre-school will be a sad one for me, I also know it will be a proud moment as a parent! So stand back because I will have tons of tears, joy and smiles all at once. I am one proud Momma!!

That is really sweet, Roxie. Children do grow up far too fast and we have to learn to cherish every moment and every second of every day. God Bless you and your family.

I have seen you and Jillian together and I can promise you, she will always be looking for Mommy. It won’t matter if she’s 3 or 33. Sometimes, that is just how it happens. I am a grown woman of 35 and the word that comes out of my mouth the most is “Daddy!!!!!!”. It doesn’t matter if I’m happy or sad, he is the one I look for 1st and You and Jillian will be the same. I see it now.Growing up without a Mom actually in the house with me led me to create a vision of the perfect Mom and the perfect Mother/Daughter relationship in my head and I am telling you the truth when I say you fit the vision of the Mom and you and Jillian will have that perfect relationship;) The preschool gets her a couple hours a week, you get her for LIFE:) So smile my darling Roxie, have a much needed relaxing afternoon (beverage included;)and wait for your heaven sent little girl to come thru the door anxious to tell Mom all about her day;) I love u;)
WOW…. Your pics are adorable and you have nothing to worry about when it comes to Jilliann growing up! She will always need her mommy! Believe me, I’m 50 and truly miss my mom all the time! You & Leo are terrific parents and Jilliann will always cherish the wonderful memories you give her! Thanks for the wonderful pics! I will be updating my frames with many of these!

Sounds like she has a great school to head off to and I’m sure she’ll always be excited to see you back at home again. (you’re so lucky to have a Montessori school close!)
Not to mention it will give you a little break, with a joyous reunion I’m sure.
Your hardworking article gains my admiration, can we be friends?
