So since my youngest daughter will be starting “school” at the end of the month my tagline has to change. Mind you, it’s not school school. She is super excited about this as she has been trying to get on the bus with her big brother for months now. She has her Doc McStuffin’s backpack and is just ready for this. She turns 3 in less than a month and what that means here is she can no longer be in the Birth to Three program and her speech therapist will no longer come to the house. To receive her speech therapy she has to go to a classroom without me. So for an hour and a half two days a week I will bring her to school and leave her.
But why does that effect my blog? Well, since the moment my blog began my tagline has been “Blogging my way through parenting.” And then usually I’ll add toddler to teen. It is how I let people know the wide age range of kids I’m here parenting. It’s that toddler part that isn’t really true anymore. My youngest isn’t toddling about much these days. She is quite sturdy on her feet and capable of walking completely on her own and running from me when I take her out of the car. I have to say, thankfully she only does that when we get home in our own driveway and she never runs out into the street. She climbs stairs like a champ and really hasn’t been a toddler for some time now probably.
But now knowing that she will be starting a school program even just 2 days a week has me realizing that I now have a preschooler. I don’t quite like the ring of Blogging my way through parenting. Preschooler to teen, but it is what it is. It doesn’t have the same ring to me as toddler to teen, but she’s just not a toddler anymore.
Even though they are all growing up right before my very eyes you will still get the same kind of blogging from me. It’s still all about the parenting. And all about my thoughts in parenting. I might still talk about things to do with pregnancy, the baby stage, and even the toddler stage of parenting. And even beyond that you’ll get stuff from me about preparing for college, having a teen driver on the horizon, and dating. Eeek, dating. Boy am I glad that’s something that hasn’t actually come about yet. I don’t entirely see it in the very near future, but I won’t be able to say that forever.
Over the next year there might be some other changes you’ll see on this blog, visually, but it will still be the same me. The same writing, the same kind of topics, and the same tone. But whatever changes happen to Monica’s Mom Musings in the coming year I hope will just make this blog that much more enjoyable to be around, even if that means I don’t have a toddler anymore.
So now I want to know, what are you hoping to hear from me the most in 2014?
