Little Miss Independent

Along with our new calling, Kyla gets to go to nursery two months earlier than normal. After Sacrament Meeting, we went on our quest to find which nursery she would be in (there are 4 of them in our Ward), and each time we went into a class and found out it wasn't the one we were supposed to be in, Kyla got very upset because she would see the toys and want to play with them. At this point, she had been deprived all during sacrament cause we don't let her run around. We require her to sit on our lap or the bench with us and play quietly. So, by now she was very upset cause she thought she was not being allowed to run around and play still and she had had enough. Finally, we found the right nursery. She didn't even care we had left because she was so delighted with the toys - which doesn't surprise me at all. She is very independent and confident. That is how we raised her to be, and we take pride in that fact. But, part of you wants her to be sad when you are gone. Jason went to check on her and her reaction was kind of a "Hey dad! You're here. Cool, you're leaving. OK, see ya later!" When it comes down to it, though, I'm glad that she functions well without me cause that is the purpose; for them to some day not need you to function. We just got a jump start on things.
