October Update

It's hard to believe we are already in October. School is going well for Tanith so far, but I will learn more in a couple of weeks after Parent/Teacher Conference. They really do not have homework, so its hard to gauge how she is progressing. All I know is that she is killing it on the handball court...luckily I can go online and see what they are learning in class since she doesn't say much. Soccer is in full force, so late night practices every Tuesday and Thursday and games on Saturday. Team is 1-2 so far, but more importantly the girls are learning and having fun. I am not sure how tall Tanith is right now, but I feel she is getting taller and taller.

Tanith said what?

Tanith says to me, "mommy I am a grown women now", I said "really", Tanith said, "yes - as she points to the plate of nachos she made all by herself"

Fall school pictures are in....who is this? Had to believe this is what 9 years old looks like. Such a beauty. 

 Tanith saved up her Mustang Money and had lunch with the Principal.

First ever rainy soccer game. Pink Pandas for the win. 

Funny or not so funny. Tanith asks me almost every night what my favorite color is and I always respond with red. I wondered why she has not memorized it by now...well my answer came to me the other night. Tanith confessed that she has been keeping a secret from me and that the reason why she asks me what my favorite color is every night is to make sure it is me and that something evil has not taken over my body. So to add some context around this...over a year ago daddy let her watch a very scary movie (big time parent fail) called Insidious. This movie even scared me, so I can only imagine how it would impact a kid...well....my answer is a lot. After she tells me why she then whispers the movie title. This one will take a long time to overcome.

This next photo made my day. That morning Tanith had a little melt down...she was just so tired and I wake her up early every morning, but this one morning was terrible. When I picked her up from school she handed me this note. Hard to see, but it says "sorry for how I acted this morning". Love this girl so much!

Crazy hair day at school. Hair by Tanith...she has pencils sticking in her bun.

Trick or Trunk at school. I was only able to get a few shots because she did not want mommy following her around. Yes, she is growing up and it was not easy for me...but I was not alone, four of us mommies were all together at "home base" and they all came back and checked in with us throughout the night. She had a blast and it was nice for me too chatting with the moms. 

 

The one and only picture with me...taken on our way out. Make-up melting off and tired. 

Happy Halloween!
