Reflecting

Makenna is nearing the end of her elementary school career. It is beyond strange to me that I vividly remember that time in my life. I try to remember (and I successfully do most of the time ) how I felt at that age. The emotions, the insecurities, all of it. Everything was a big deal to me and I see that in her. I want to acknowledge that and remember how she is feeling now. She and I are alike. So much alike. I am trying so hard to remember to understand when she is having a good day or bad day how to react. It is just beyond strange that I have a daughter who is old enough to carve out her own memories that she will vividly remember when her daughter is in 5th grade.
