This is the year before my Muddy Pixie starts school, the year before her world opens up even more and she is no longer a 'preschooler' but a school kid instead. I am worried about my Muddy Pixie starting school, the special qualities that make her her are not all suited to a school classroom, so of course - I worry.
My Muddy Pixie is the total opposite of me, I am all about order, routine, structure, and without those I do not function so well. My Muddy Pixie however is all about what's happening in the moment, what adventure is happening next, what joke is the funniest or what imaginative story can she tell to crack herself up into fits of giggles.
She is anxious, but sometimes it's just for show, she is intuitive, she is a dancer, a story teller, a cycling pro, a little waif, a distractable, yet focused little soul.
We are facing some challenges this year to help get her ready for school, we are working on things as a family, and I have been amazed at how Muddy Hubby has stepped in to do some things with her that I do not have the patience for, despite trying to remain calm and composed and do the best I could sometimes there are just things that Dad does better.
My Muddy Pixie is certainly keeping me on my toes.
That's a lovely photo with Granddad, so cute. They're all beautiful photos of your Pixie. She'll do great Nat, she is already great xoxo
