Addie's play date

Addie had her first official "drop off" play date today. Up until this point, Addie has only been dropped off with family... I'm overprotective, I know.

My sixth grade history teacher is the grandmother of one of Addie's best friends from preschool, Rowan. Today Hunny (what Rowan calls her gmaw) picked Rowan up from school and asked if Addie could come over to play. I wasn't sure if Addie would want to since she doesn't know Hunny, but she was so excited!

I dropped her off, and they colored easter eggs, had a tea party outside, and rode tricycles.  Addie was not ready to leave (I left her for an hour and 20 minutes), but Hunny assured her that she could come over again.

Addie wrote a thank you card tonight and we put it in the mail, since I couldn't get the stinker to thank Hunny today. Sigh.

I know Addie is a big girl now, but I still want to treat her like a baby... Hah! Today made me realize we are entering another stage of life. Bittersweet!

I know what you mean Beth. You want them to venture out but you also want to keep them by you. She is becoming little miss independant. :)
