Thursday - October 8

Today was the most exciting day for Miss Autumn ever! According to her she has "waited her whole life to go on a field trip"! She was prepared. She had the correct clothing - the bag to bring the pumpkin home in and the correct shoes. (It could rain you know) She was thrilled. She woke up at 6:00 am. (She is not an early riser) When she came out of the school building she was carrying the biggest pumpkin of anyone! She was so happy with her find. Good thing I drove to pick her up. We had so much fun talking about field trips and the bus and getting pumpkins and all about the fall season. What great conversation we had this day. She really did not seem to be my little baby girl at all anymore but quite the opposite. A very grown up five year old who is very sure of herself and very confident and happy. Today mattered for me because a pumpkin brought great smiles and fun to a mom and her baby girl!
