The world is a scary place without a blankie...


This year, my second baby will be starting Kindergarten. Now, since she is my second child, this isn't really my first time having the kindergarten jitters. The difference this time, is that she is still a baby. My older daughter was the type to assess a situation, decide how to conquer it, and toss a casual ' bye mom!' over her shoulder as she marched confidently into the room. Not so much with #2. She is still a blankie toting, thumb sucking, mommy needing girl. And I'm ok with that. What I'm not ok with is the thought of sending her into the big scary world of Kindergarten without me.  So, what I'm gonna do, is give her lots of hugs and kisses, say a lot of prayers, and make her a pocket sized blankie. I'm sure she will survive, and even thrive. It's myself I'm worried about.  ;-)
