No matter how old my daughter gets (now 7), she has always makes me laugh with the way she thinks and what she says.
Lately she has been telling me she wants me to home-school her. She has said that she heard 3rd grade is so hard and she wants no part of it. I have been doing my best to tell her she will be just fine in 3rd grade.
So this morning she started her worry rant about 3rd grade again. She said, "Mom, I have to study all summer about eyeballs. I need to learn everything about them." I couldn't imagine why she was saying this. She told me that her friend in 3rd grade had to take an eyeball test and failed, and she cried and cried I still told her not to worry about it. Tears formed in her eyes as she told me what a loving kind girl her friend was, and that she would never lie to her. Then it dawned on me, "Honey, Jasmine probably cried because she didn't want to wear glasses. I'm pretty sure her 'Eye test', was to see if she needed glasses." Then immediately her expression changed, she got a big smile on her face and said, "Yea, MOM! She doesn't want to wear glasses! Oh I hope I fail mine next year". Then she asked me if she could wear her fake eye glasses to school.
What a beautiful journey it is to be a mother. These little ones fill our lives with so much joy, making it so much more entertaining. I am so thankful for this blessing. Sending you all an abundance of love where ever you are.
