I want to be Mace today
and stay sleeping in my warm, comfy bed because
I am off in an hour or so for Ashlyn's
I am off in an hour or so for Ashlyn's"maturation program!"

I can't believe I am old enough to have a child who IS old enough to know how
"she got here."
(okay wait, I do feel old enough, I have 4 kids but your FIRST experience with this is crazy.)
And really, Ashlyn already knows all the "goods." I told her over a year ago.
And I wasn't going to let a stranger with a pamphlet tell my daughter about the birds and the bee's either.
I think the kids need to hear it from mom and dad who present it in a "good way."
I told her early because kids ASK early....it's sad how kids talk at lunch a say alllll sorts of crazy stories that mom's have to fix.
AND Ashlyn has always wanted to know WHY?... about everything. I mean EVERYTHING. Always. Questions. Why this? How does this work? Everyday questions about all sorts of things not just that. So I take that as a good thing in life, to always ask and question things, but sometimes as a mom, I can't believe I am teaching my children life lessons. I sure hope I am prepared....But do we ever feel totally prepared and that we are doing and saying the right things?? I question myself daily!
So off I go, on to a fun and somewhat awkward adventure. I so remember mine and all the pamphlets and all those WORDS. ewww. really.
I will be back with an update...~
(and I may need a big diet coke after...:)

Oh my word!! I hope you had fun! LOL. I am sortof dreading that day. Mia hasn't even asked a single question about ANYTHING! Should I just volunteer the info?? She hasn't even asked how the baby got in my tummy...better yet, how is it going to come out?? Oh the joys of motherhood. You make me smile. Love your posts.
Fun day. It wasn't that bad. I can't believe we are old enough to have girls this age. It just keeps getting more interesting. Your post for this weekend now disappeared. You are good at disappearing acts. Have a fab Sunday!!!1
I want to hear all about that!! Poor Ash...
Okay
not so bad I must say. In fact, it was nothing compared to my drama in 5 th grade. By law they can't say much...about boys and their ya know..parts.
SO it was simple, alll about the girls and WHY we get our lovely monthly visits!
So this weekened, we were in target and Ash stopped me b/c she saw "pads" on the shelf and she was like, "hold on mom, I am checking if they have W I N G S and she belted it out so loud...!! She didn't realize really how loud she was, she was just so curious and proud that she was "grown up" and she was proud of all she learned from the lady at maturation....It was all good, lots of questions, lots of answers...!
oh child, how awful! i remember mom gave me some book about "growing up" and told me to read a chapter every night before bed. dude, i think she passed that book down to all of us! haha glad you survived...
