So my baby girl is 5 and off to her first year in school. She has been home with me from birth and this will be a new adventure for her, me and her Dad. She’s not my first child to go to Kindergarten I have two older boys who are 16 and 12, they started school at 3 so it wasn’t much of a difference when they went to kindergarten. They’re boys so I wasn’t as worried about them. Afterall they could fight for themselves, they were in a smaller school, in the same building and yeah, they are boys.
Pk, our family’s first girl . The baby who daydreams and sings all day. This little sensitive being that I have protected and sheltered from life for 5 short years is currently off to school and inwardly I’m worried, a little.?
As I registered her for school I looked at her and said…I have to teach her some things before she goes to school . But not the general things, like keep family business at home …but the major things like…being fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Everyone won’t like you.Its okay that you are who you are. Be Proud of yourself. Never think someone or something is better than you are. It’s okay to be black. Your black is beautiful, and we have a beautiful culture.Always speak up , always have your own opinions.Your personality is what makes you who you are. AND…no you can’t have any Mac or mary kay I don’t care if MomMom says you can.?
In all my pouring and teaching her I forgot to tell her the most important thing , just have fun, make friends ,enjoy your teacher, lunch and recess are the best, snacktime is even more fun. Getting dirty is a part of school and those monkey bars rock! She doesn’t understand a lot of the other things anyway, who am I kidding! ?
You ever go through life so uptight and stiff that you just forget to enjoy the moment.You’re so worried about the forcasted storm that you forget about the hours of Sunlight you’ve been afforded . I know I’ve been guiilty of this. Sometimes we just have to take sometime to breathe and enjoy life.
Take this lesson for a kindergartner and enjoy every chapter or page of your life. There is no fun sweating over big things when you can enjoy your small miracles…life, health and strength!
BLISSFULLY Yours,
TC
