Can I stay over, Mom?

This would be the first day that Anabel not staying home. Yesterday morning, after she joined me to the ‘the free English course’ she decided to stay over in my friend’s house and had a sleeping overnight. The house is 1 hour far from my house. My friend’s daughter is actually one of Anabel’s favorite big sister friend, they could get along well. Since today we have 3 days holiday, I finally had to be agreed letting her stayed there. It is quiet surprising me that she managed things very well without having mommy around and for me; it is new experience spending one night without her present at home.

I realize that this is only one little start of the changing I will have next; my daughter is growing into a brave little girl and the nicest thing that she able to make her own decision and has responsibility of it. Though I’m very happy of her big step but still the other side, is I don’t like the idea of being apart from her even only for one night. My husband keeps convincing me that this only a start, and says that there would be lots of things changed during our journey without we realize it.

Guess that… I also have to be growing myself. Realizing and aware of things around me which may change suddenly. One thing that I learn is that I’m turning into ‘real Mom’ part, a part where I am required to be more mature than before and also coped with other’s decision.

Have a nice sleeping over night with kakak Hany, Anabel…..

Loves

Mommy
