Party and Tears

My daughter woke up this morning chanting, "It's my birthday party day!" I wasn't THAT excited being that it was so early and the sun was just peeking over the horizon, but I guess I better just get in party mode. We've been up two and half hours and she has asked me at least 10 times "Is it time for my party yet?" Being that it doesn't start until 4, it is going to be a long day. How convient for her dad to have things to do this morning! I think I will just set an alarm clock, and she will know that when it goes off, it will be TIME!
My daughter has decided to go spend a few days with her NeeNee, my mom, before school starts. Other parents have told me that it gets easier as your children get older to have them stay with other people, but I must disagree. The closer it gets to her leaving, my chest hurts. As she was dancing and singing for me and her dad last night, I literally had to look away as the tears were forming in my eyes. I asked her what I was going to do here without her and she insists that I should just invite "another kid" over to play with. Kids always have an answer for everything. Well, we will soon see if I can hold it together today. I know tomorrow morning when she leaves, I can at least hold the tears until she is down the driveway!
