Dear Serenity,
What can I say?
Labor Day weekend is coming up and since your father did not want to switch weekends with me, you will be with him that weekend and I will be home.
I was hoping that we could all go with the family to the beach but I guess maybe next year.
It's okay. Mommy has plans for us for the next holiday. We will be able to spend it together. Yay!
Of course, you will be with your father that weekend, but that's okay.
Same goes for Christmas.
BUT I will get you back on Christmas at 5:00 PM. And I am okay with it. I will just have to delay opening presents with you until you get back. Daddy Moon, you, and I can have a delayed Christmas present opening.
I love you my Princess!
You know, you do and say the darnest things.
You started school last week, and you did VERY WELL!
You cried a few times Mommy dropped you off, but it's okay. I see you 7 and 1/2 hours afterwards!
Your teachers Ms. Dee and Ms. Courtney has been telling me wonderful things about your time there.
This week, you've had an accident, but just having you in underwear is all so exciting!
I think it's cause of the fact you get so wrapped up in playing you forget.
This past weekend your father was late coming to pick you up AND he also dropped you off 4 hours early. When I asked him why he dropped you off so soon, he told me "she wanted to come home." When I asked him why he didn't keep you till 5:00 PM he told me that "a few hours would not have made a difference." That's odd. Considering the fact that he only sees you every other weekend, I figured he'd want to see you as much as possible. Once again, his actions are totally different from what he says. Makes me wonder that if you told him you wanted to jump off a bridge he would allow you to do so. I sometimes wonder about your father, but I guess that will be something I will never know. He tells me he got money for you and then just ignores me when I try to contact him to give him your bank information. Men. I will NEVER get it.
Lately, I think that both of us are experiencing a bit of separation anxiety. Dropping you off at school and when I pick you up I am off to work...The time that we do spend together are memories that I will cherish.
Some of the cute things you've said to me included:
"Mommy, who turn on the rain? It's raining outside. Your car wet." (this was on the way to school one morning)
"Mommy, look at me! I'm sexy!" (this happens everytime you are getting ready to take a bath)
"Mommy! I see the light (we were walking to the car and you saw the sunlight)
"Mommy! Hug! Mommy! Kiss!" (this happens when you and I part and I don't give you hugs and kisses)
"Mommy! I got homework!!!" When I sit you down to do homework..."Mommy, I don't want to do homework."
"I sleep." (this is your response when I asked you what did you do on your first day of school)
Every day I see you, and everyday I fall more and more in love with you. You are growing up so beautifully. Seems like yesterday that I could leave you on the bed and come back you'd still be there. But you're all grown up. Like a big girl. And enjoying life and everything that it can offer you. Take hold of it and never let go. No one will love you like I do.
Forever and always,
Mommy
