Spread Your Wings and Fly

A few weeks ago, just shy of turning 3, my babiest of sweet babies (can you tell I'm emotionally a little unready to accept this??  LOL) was accepted into a special education preschool program.  I never in a million years would have thought I'd be sending her off prior to preK when she was four and a half, but this opportunity was too wonderful to pass on.  She has an amazing preschool teacher that she loves each afternoon as well as a whole team of OT, PT, Speech, Behavior, etc specialists.  It doesn't help that even for an almost 3 year old she's still just so itty bitty.  I had to go buy her a special back pack because even the smallest one I found in the department store tipped all 27lbs of her over.  It was hard to let her go the first day, but when I picked her up that first day (and every day since) she has been beaming from ear to ear after having just had the greatest day ever...I am sure I made the choice that was right for her even if not for me.  And that's what being a mama bear is all about right?  :)

This theme of spreading her wings and flying was inspired by the challenge over at Anything but a Card this week where I am blessed to be a DT member.  The challenge is ANYTHING WITH WINGS!!!  So hop on over and play along...there's a week left!!!!


I'm also sharing this with the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut challenge.  They asked you to create something with a tag and a cricut cut.  That inspired me to look to my Create-a-Critter cart when I was stuck digging through my stash for a butterfly embellishment.  :)


Thanks for visiting!
