One of my daughters found a CD this morning from an old Kindermusik class. As my husband and I were dancing around the downstairs with the kids, I was reminding them about when they each took the class. My six-year-old didn’t remember the songs at all and I was struck by how long it has been since she was in the class.
I remember being a new mom with my her, sitting in those first Kindermusik classes. I was intimidated by the cool-mom-clique in the class. They had beautiful clothes, had the trendiest baby gear and all went to lunch together after class every week. It was all I could do to get my daughter dressed and there on time. I still didn’t fit back in my cute jeans yet, certainly not $200 ones.
Our lives have changed so much in those six years. We’ve both grown in our own ways. I have other mom friends now and feel confident about what I’m doing. She’s happy and smart and seems so grown up. I wouldn’t change a thing about her.
Every once in a while though, on a day like today, I miss the chubby cheeked little girl she used to be…
She is such a pretty girl!

I went to one of the first Kindermusik classes when they first started in the 90s. Ive wanted my kids to go since I remember the fun I had at mine. Unfortunately, they’re so far away from us!

Stopping by and following from a HOP. I love the name of your blog…I think we all are helicopter moms!
I completely related to this post. My daughter is 6 now. It seems like she has grown up right before my eyes in the past few months. I catch myself thinking about when she was younger. I realize how quickly time flies and how much I have to embrace every day. It all goes too quickly. Nice to see someone else feels the same!

Awww…I already feel like my doll baby is growing up too fast and she is only 5 months old.
I can so relate with the “cool mom clique.” I am having such a hard time fitting into my “mommy group.” They are all about 10 years older than me, college graduated and wearing those $200 jeans. I am still in college and can’t get myself to pay more than $30-40 for jeans…
Cute picture by the way! I have a chubby-cheeked girl myself, but she is slowly growing up!
Have a great day!
