I just dropped my 5 year old off into the kindergarten world this week. <br /> Already she's asked me some questions that have alerted me to the fact that the world is not going to be the way she thought it was in her sensitive heart. It makes me feel powerless.<br /><br />I hope she stays herself through it all and comes out relatively unscathed.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917013165676755612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-70777813094030291842011-08-28T08:07:07.798-05:002011-08-28T08:07:07.798-05:00Love it.

Maximus knew, and you knew that he knew, and you let him nurture the person he is. You're a wonderful mom.
