One evening during the one-week September break, Big Bee received a call from her K2 good friend, Elizabeth, and pulled me downstairs to the mailbox. "Mummy! Elizabeth said she sent me a letter!"
So, there she was, holding an envelope addressed to her, with a silly happy grin on her face. She opened it up and there was a letter inviting her to Lizzie's house for a party with her kindy old friends - Mith, Rachel and Lizzie.
Hubby and I decided that she is now old enough to attend parties on her own. So, Hubby dropped her off at Lizzie's house - to Little Bee's chagrin that she has "no one to play with" in her own words - then he picked her up after 3 hours of fun and games.
We are slowly releasing the tight reins, letting her dip her little toes into the deep end of the pool. When I came back from work and asked her how was the party, I was pleased that she sat down with me and related everything about the girlie party - how they played big girlie games in Lizzie's bedroom, how irritating Lizzie's older teenaged siblings are (somehow, she knows the difference between a kid and a teenager!), etc. I felt happy just listening to her chatting on incessantly, giggling away, voice rising in excitement - and I hope she can continue to share every detail of her life with me as she journeys in the path of growing up.
