Jenna is growing up!

This week we are in VBS and the older 3 kids are able to enjoy going.  Even though Jenna would like to be with me she wants to stay so bad.  She is starting to really enjoy getting to do things on her own and I cant believe that she will be 5 in the next few weeks.  It seems like the time has just flown bye and I forgot to blink.  I forgot to write it down!  I am trying very hard to keep memories like this blog but struggle because I am afraid someone may judge me for my thoughts. I also feel vulnerable at times with putting thoughts to paper.  But time is short and fleeting and we may not all be together tomorrow. So I am going to try and try to get this down for my kids.  Jenna you are a beautiful curly hair spit fire.  You challenge me everyday but that makes me a better parent because I know I can not fit you into a set mold.  I am working on finding your bent, working on figuring out how to best reach you on the days your having a harder day.  I pray everyday that God will give me the patience to be able to help guide you in to the strong woman God has created you to be.  I love when you sing to me and laugh when I get to "Boing" your curls.  You have achieved so much this year just like riding your bike all by yourself just 2 days after taking off your training wheels.  You are such an amazing girl and I have really taken not that anytime you set your mind on doing or learning something there is nothing that will stop you from doing it.  This really makes me proud. Although you are old enough to go to school this year I am going to wait until your 6 just so I can have another year with you.  I know some would say this is selfish, but I am looking forward to it.
