So would it be so bad if I put my kids in plastic bubbles to protect them from the world??? This morning I dropped off Maya and Armani at school and as I’m tending to Armani, I see that Maya is standing next to a few of her school friends. She then walks over to a little boy and says hi (I’ll call him J). The next thing I hear is J say to Maya, “I don’t like you, because you are shy”. This just breaks my heart. Obviously, it didn’t have the same affect on Maya since she just turned around and started playing with another child as if he had said nothing to her. But, I’m so not ready for those hearts breaking moments when she comes to me in tears over something someone says to her. I know I can’t always protect my kids but homeschooling is looking better and better.

I think it is harder on the parents at Maya's age but it is always heart breaking to hear something like that. After I had kids, it was really hard for me to see the poor kid in high school that everyone thought was weird. I could only think how much it hurt him to be rejected. I am really scared of sending my kids to high school! Thank goodness I have many years to prepare myself.
I'm so psyched you're blogging!!! I'll be reading, that's for sure!!
