Growing Up
Kaylee is killing me today. With the start of school in sight, she's decided to use the last bit of summer and clean out her room. Kaylee was a "ladybug" nut almost from birth. A couple of years ago she decided to re-do her room and get rid of the ladybug comforter. Today, it seems, every hint of ladybug is being rejected. What is a mother to do with a ladybug backpack that has her child's name embroidered on it? Well, I think she saves it for the grandchild to use when he/she comes to Grandma's for the weekend, right??? What about the ceramic ladybug we made together at the ceramic shop? Save it. What about??? Save it! What about the trophies from 5th grade safety patrol? The children's CDs? I'm having a hard time with this, can you tell? Growing up and throwing out your roots just isn't an easy thing!

Do save the ladybug backpack! My mom saved the "Going to Grandma's" pale yellow tote bag that I used to take to my grandma's when I was 4. My mom gave it to me last summer. Now my kids take it with them to grandma's whenever they spend the night. The kids love it and for me, it brings back sweet memories. I'm not sure what to do with the ceramic ladybug - is there a place in the garden?
