5th Grade Field Trip

So, my daughter begs me and begs me with tears in her eyes to come along on her field trip, even though they were not asking for chaperones. While I'm no sucker for crocodile tears (usually), I agreed. I'd never been to Morningside Nature Center and it sounded like fun. After all the begging, the little rascal wouldn't even sit with me on the bus. That's okay. I get it. She still wants me and needs me, just maybe not so much all the time. I'm definitely entering a period where I'm going to be struggling to find the balance between holding on and letting go.  In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the fact that she is still asking me to come along.
