I just realized....

Yesterday, marked the 100th day of school I know because the children celebrated. Patience came running out smiling in her 100th day hat. So cute!!
With a big smile on her face telling me all about the day. Momma we had 100 balloons and got to pop them.  We watched 101 Datamations

And Momma the teacher made us brownies :( and another girl brought cookies.

But I did not eat any. You didn't Patience? No momma.

Besides the Valentine party and the Halloween party ( a cookie) that officially makes 98 days Patience has said no Thank you.

Please do not think I'm complaining or wanting sympathy. I'm just so proud of Patience. I know it must be hard for her. But i have to remind myself it is for her health. ( I had sent the teacher a sugar free candy to give her in occasions like that I suppose she forgot) :( While the other kids ate their Brownies and cookies Patience ate her plum. Gosh I feel bad. I feel bad because I hope she knows we are not punishing her. Everytime I remind her she says I know, I know Momma. You do not want me to have diabetes. And if i eat those type of foods i gain weight.

Wtg Patience. You make me so proud. My hope for you in the future is your healthy. My fear is you will blame me because I did not allow you to be  just a kid. And I hope you will know we love you and are trying to save you from diabetes. It isn't about a fad diet. We love you with all our hearts. If I could make things different I would.

* On a side note Patience has always been such a Momma and Daddys girl. Always very loving. She is still. And this has nothing to do with the diet or anything of that nature.  Now when we go to the store she says Momma Im a big girl now I do not need to hold your hand. :(
Of course she would if i really wanted her to. I miss her hand in mine.
But I understand. After I wrote this I went in and checked on her she had her Valentine pegas (horse with wings) stuffed animal in her arms holding it while sleeping. And I remember we still have many milestones to go. :) They are out tomorrow because of a Teacher in service day. And Im so happy I have time to spend with my girls.
