Protesting all weekend..... not wanting to start Kindergarten..... wanting to go back to preschool..... discussion... explanation... woohoo big girl talks.... she was not buying any of it. She wanted the familiar - she wanted her school - her teachers - her friends. Oh Crap I say to myself... Monday morning is going to be tough. I don't have time to oooh and awww..... or fall into the "my baby is growing up" emotion.... I was worried. As you can see all went well - she was soooo happy. She had a blast - she's made new friends - she loves her teacher. She went to bed on time tonight... and I find myself with a new found freedom, 8pm Quiet Time :)

I've been working on this 'art' project for my Goddaughter - Courtney. Her birthday is coming up this week and my sister is surprising her by decorating her room with the theme Peace and Recycle. I am so impressed with her awareness of our environment and her desire to be a part of the change. Happy Birthday Courtney! I love you!

Happy Birthday my beautiful Goddaughter! May you have a Fantabulous year filled with love, peace and a bit of hip hop :)

xoxo - Nina

P.S.  Am I off the hook from rapping? :)
