Proud Mommy Moments: Made a Friend

It's Thursday! Time for Proud Mommy Moments. PMM is your chance to brag about your kids and tell the awesome amazing things they do or tell about the things that make you "proud"-i.e. you are hanging your head in embarrassment but hey- it makes for good blogging material.


Please, please grab the button for your post and link back to your post and not just your blog in general. Also definitely visit my co-host Kmama. And you don't have to be a mom to participate!

My last few PMM's have centered around Lucas- so it is definitely Alex's turn. On Tuesday she started preschool. Tuesday morning I went and woke her up, she kept rolling back over trying to go back to sleep. "You have preschool today." I told her. She immediately popped and while smiling said-"this is the best day ever!"

We got to her preschool and we were waiting for the time to go in. Some of the other kids began arriving. After just a minute Alex went up to one girl and asked: "What is your name? My name is Alex."

As soon as the girl told Alex her name, Alex came running over to me on her tiptoes, eyes beaming, mouth half covered like she had a secret. "Mom, mom! I made a new friend!" and she genuinely meant it.

When it was time to head inside she did not hesitate one second, hung her back pack up and hardly even glanced back to say goodbye.

Yes, Miss Alex- Alex the Bold. She is way more fearless then I was at that age.

  8. Awe. Making friends is a HUGE deal and she did great. I'm sure it helped you to feel more confident in dropping her off too.

    How is school going for Lucas? Did lunch get straightened out?

  14. What a great moment!

    On the flip side, we have been spending lots of time at football and there is a little girl of about 5 who is in love with The Girl (age 7). She's annoying, I won't lie, but she came up to The Girl the other day and asked, "Are you my friend?" Afraid of what was going to come out of my child's mouth, I started chanting, "Just say yes, just say yes!" My friend who was standing next to me and only has boys about died laughing and the whole way home, I had to hear about why My Girl didn't like this little one! OY!
