Dear first born, it's not you, it's me

I have been reading lately about the subject -Birth order and personality- and what it really means your position in the family. Being myself the first born in the house, the subject somehow catches my attention. There is so much written, especially about the first born. Many theories on why parents could have a weakness for their first kid and why most of them fiercely deny it out of guilt. Many psychologists explaining the facts and also how our personalities are affected by it.

Anyways, browsing around I found this. Not at all a scientific article, but just the heart of a mother talking. I read it, got so emotional on how this woman puts in words her feelings towards her first born and how those words are so connected with my own feelings towards my first born, actually my only one. While reading, I felt I had written the article myself, not because I could be able to write so beautifully but because of all the deep feelings expressed by this woman. Just wanted to share it with any mom who wants to read.

Dear first born, it's not you, it's me.

Kindergarten

It seems we have finally found a school we really like for D. to start elementary school next fall. I know, it seems so early to start the process, but in order to pick the school we really wanted we needed to start this early. What a relief. What a big relief. We toured at least 10 schools in the last 2 months. In our district, out of our district, public schools and private schools, charter schools and whatever's left in the middle, and somehow there was always something that didn't click to me when touring all those schools. All of them -btw- with very high scores and super nice reviews, but still, there was something that didn't convince me. It happened the same to me when I was looking for preschools for D. two years ago. I visited many, until I went to one that felt right to me instantly, it felt right in my heart. And that was how I felt yesterday morning when we visited the very last school in our list to tour, it felt right. I liked the school, thank God, I liked

Copenhagen

I've had this city in my mind for a while. Never been there, but every time I research about trips to Europe I bump into a Copenhagen article, link, photo and I get more and more interested and excited about this city. In pictures it just looks like the kind of city I like. Here my inspiration for today Friday, a few photos of gorgeous Copenhagen. All photos by: littlescandinavian.com  (one of my favorite blogs). Happy weekend. Healthy and peaceful.
