Camilla

My 3 year old Camilla

So Camilla is in that phase where she needs to drop her nap but its hard some days to let that happen, even though it will mean a much happier bedtime...the kind where she actually goes to sleep before 10pm..... This just reminds me that she's growing up so quickly. I'm really sad about it. I'm finally to the stage where I want to freeze her and keep her like this.

She will be in preschool this fall MWF at Carmel Pres. Thursdays she will join us at CC. Tuesdays I hope to attend a Bible Study at my church in the mornings. This will mean each weekday morning Camilla is not with me for a significant portion. I've agonized and prayed about this decision- what to do? We've landed in a spot that we feel this is best for our family as a whole. I'm praying for wisdom in how to be intentional with her when she's here. And I'm already picking out her skip-days from preschool....

I'm sadly counting down the days until we start this fall schedule......things are often quieter when she's not here, but they aren't quite as sweet.

SUCH a sweet picture of her-- I can feel your bittersweet agony, and am feeling it all the way. Will pray for your heart as it enters this new phase of mom-hood.
