Fifteen

This weekend we are spending in Estes Park,  Colorado. Other than being right next to the rockies,  Estes Park is a nice little town with shops full of antiques and keepsakes. I had just tuned into a country music channel on the radio on our rental car, as we turned into a parking spot at the main street. Little Haana asked if we could shop. What did she want to shop for? Oh, anything!
Ok, I'll give you a budget of $20.
$30?
20.
25?
20.
Fine! Now, can we tune into some actual music station?
I slowly turned to little miss Haana and said just this 1 word - "15".
Oh actually, no need, it's quite good music already - she back-tracked!
Just as I expected!

A Whole New Chapter - Waiting Outside

I have a feeling this is the beginning of a whole new chapter in my life. I can see how it's all going to unfold from right here - inside my car, listening to radio. A chapter when uncountable Mommy hours are going to vanish without a trace. 

As I sit on a Saturday morning waiting outside Miss Haana's dance class, I can see how the whole chauffeur-wait-outside game is going to unfold! I've seen and heard my friends who're ferrying their kids back and forth between multiple extra curricular classes and school and home, but I'd been living in denial (it wouldn't happen to me- it's only for other people) and disbelief (it is way too much work for me!).

And here I am. Outside the dance class for the little one's make-up class (she missed a few this month) on Saturday morning listening to radio and having my tea. Neither disbelief nor denial is going to cut it.

Now I must admit, most days when she has her dance classes, the cynic level in me is much lower. I'm usually the over zealous parent who hovers outside the door( they wouldn't let me in while the class is in session) and is shooting videos from the other side of the curtain! My baby is so cute with all her dance moves! 

Check back on the excitement level once my tea is over, though!
