After 25 years in a newsroom, I've traded in my reporter/producer hat and am now wearing the "Mom" hat. I love the fact that as a mom I am now able to be in school with my girls as they experience new and wonderful things. Today, Juliette got up close and personal to lizards, snakes, turtles and even an alligator. She LOVED every single one of them. It's great to see how she interacts with her classmates and her teachers... although when I'm with her she tends to be a bit clingy. Her teacher assures me the moment I leave she navigates her way around her social circles... that's my girl !!
