First day of school

My daughter has been nervous most of the holidays about going to school this year. She starts High School and will be attending our local school. The problem has been that almost all her friends are going to other larger schools. It is a dilema for parents. We want to do everything to make our kids happy while at the same time getting the best for our kids without being snobby about it. Our gut feelings have kicked in to say that where we are sending her is best for her. We really believe that she will succeed wherever she goes, but the size of the school is important. She is right into drama and we know for a fact that this school has an awesome drama teacher.

I sat down beside her this morning and chatted about standing tall and being your own person. Not allowing people to walk all over you and picking good friends and making new ones. A heart to heart. She gave me a hug and it seemed to go well. We prayed together for the day. My little girl is growing up. Does a parent ever really know what's going on inside their childs head and heart. You do the best you can and trust in the Lord. Some of it is up to them to make the very best. I like the relationship I have with my daughter, she still loves to give me hugs and loves me being around when she is with her friends. Last year she even dragged me up to dance with her at her school ball. All her friends said " You are dancing with your dad!' She replied "Yeah I like it" That's pretty special I reckon.
