HI, FRIEND!

HI, I’M BECKA. I’M A WIFE AND A GIRL MAMA, THREE TIMES OVER. WELCOME TO OUR EVERYDAY LIFE–I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

I’m truly beside myself that she’s 4. 😭 My beautiful sunshine girl. When I was pregnant with her I used to wonder who she’d be like. Having 2 other girls I thought she would favor one over the other. But then she came along and proved she was a force of her very own. Sticky sweet but sassy. Hilarious but empathetic. She saved me when I was at my lowest and I hope she always knows how much she was wanted and loved. On her first day of preschool yesterday both of her sisters broke down bawling—she’s as much my baby as she is theirs. She was lucky enough to be born with 2 built in best friends, 2 seasoned parents. Louie girl, you are infinitely loved. Happiest 4th birthday, my darling girl. How wonderful you have made my life. How lucky we all are to live in your light. 🤍#sweetlucyjune #lucyjunebyyear

“Flowers may bloom again but a person never has a chance to be young again.” 🥺

Here’s what my older 2 had for lunch today (Lucy can’t have packed lunch, she eats whatever they offer at school)

My sweet girl very unexpectedly started preschool today. I got the call less than a week ago that she was accepted and school started today. I’m not handling it well, honestly. I spent the better part of my morning crying and crying again when I picked her up and she broke down after the longest she’s ever been in a strangers care in her life. I’m not good with change: never have been, never will be. It feels like I’ve been on maternity leave for 4 years and I blinked and all of a sudden my kid is grown and wearing a backpack that’s comically large for her and she’s eating lunch in a cafeteria. I know people will never understand me and my emotional attachment to my girls—that it feels like physical pain when I feel like I’m grasping the passage of time with white knuckled fists, willing it to linger a little longer. I don’t want to be the mom that holds them back for her own selfish benefit and I’m working on it. But man, I’m not okay. I missed her so much today and the thought of having to do it again tomorrow (on her birthday, of all days) makes me want to crawl into a hole and die. But we’re doing it. I won’t let her see how much it hurts. I’ll just continue to be her soft space to land when she finds her way home at the end of the day. As for Lucy, who this is supposed to be about anyways: the highlight of her day was the blueberry muffin she got at breakfast. I love her so much 😭🤧 #sweetlucyjune #lucyjunegoestoschool #emomom
