Lilly's First Preschool Field Trip

On Thursday we went on a field trip with Lilly's preschool to Green Spot Farm. We had a great time and it was nice to see the other moms, students, and teachers outside of the normal school structure. It was also good to experience Lilly's classmates and teacher from a different angle and it was nice to get to know them better. In a way it was bittersweet because a field trip is something that is so grown up and shows independence for school aged kids. The good thing is that Lilly Rose is still at the age were I can go with her and she is so happy to have me there experiencing the day with her.

Watching my little girl among the group was very special. She is fearless, headstrong, fun and inquisitive. The first to feed the horse without prompting, running into the hay maze without hesitation and loving on every animal she could get her hands on. She's special. Yes, she's my daughter and I see her through my mommy filter but there's something about seeing your child among others that really reminds you of who they are and that they are their own person. Luckily this little person calls me her best friend and I've come to realize that yes I'm her mom but she too is my little best friend.
