After that first week of school, when Alyssa was pushing me further and further away from the front doors of the school at drop off/pick up, I was wondering when Alyssa would ask if she could go to school on her own. It happened last night. "Can I go to school on my own on Friday?"
I do try to ascribe to a healthy level of 'free range' parenting (a parenting movement in contrast to those that are known as helicopter parents), and I guess now it is time to test my commitment to that school of thinking. I love that Alyssa is strong and independent, but I'm just not sure I'm ready for my 5 year old to go to/from school on her own in 2011. I have till tomorrow to figure it out though!
Our Blog
We originally started this blog (years ago) to keep track of the every day things in our lives that we didn't want to forget but knew that we would in time. As life got in the way, we posted less and less until March 2010 when Matthew's arrival rocked our world. Now we use this blog to let everyone know how Matthew is progressing and the big events going on at the Hoy House. We are so appreciative of everyone who has read our story and has thought and prayed for Matthew and for us.
