Last week Sarah and I served in Courtney's Kindergarten class every morning for two hours. Courtney's school has six kindergarten classes and all six classes hosted a holiday of a different country. Anyway, Courtney walked to class a few days by herself while Sarah and I checked in at the front office. I still carried her backpack. Then in the afternoons she said she wanted to carry her backpack while we walked to the car.
When we first started kindergarten she could not walk the full length to the classroom from the parking lot without falling down, let alone carry her backpack on her back.
Friday came and she said, "Mom, I want you to drop me off at the drop off place Monday morning. I can carry my backpack and I walked this week without you and Sarah." I was excited that she had made this plan - without telling me she had worked this out in her mind all week long. I was also scared, the "what if's" started popping in my mind.
I told her that was exciting and that I was so proud of her and yes - she could walk to class. We dropped her off this morning and she was wabbling a little - but had her head held high and walked like a pro.....
I haven't stop thinking of it since!
