(Sigh)... I really didn't think the time would come until she was at least in late elementary school or middle school. But I'm sad to say that my daughter already doesn't want to be seen with me. Okay, so I know it's really just her becoming independent, but Ellison has recently started BEGGING me to not walk with her into school when I drop her off! I couldn't believe it when I heard it the first time: "Mom, stay back. I want to walk to my class all by myself. I can do it, Mom! Mom, pleeeaaaase! Mo-om, I don't want you to walk me in! Stay here. I want to find my room by myself."
We've had this conversation on a couple of occasions now, but I'm bigger, so I win out. :-) I know she has seen that the kids that are dropped off in the carpool line get to walk to their classroom by themselves, and she thinks that's cool. But I LOVE walking her to her classroom everyday and seeing her off. I keep telling her I'll let her do the carpool line for drop-offs after Christmas break (after the baby is here, and it'll be easier to not get a newborn out of the car!). I still don't like the thought, though... I'm going to be one of those parents....
