fridays

On Fridays Camille and I stay home together. Just like I had one on one time with Avery I wanted some one on one time with Camille. It has been really nice and this fall we will start a music class together. The same one I took Av too. Last year when Av went to “school day” she loved it so much she didn’t care what Camille and I were doing. When I switched them to CS I think part of the reason Av did so well is because she knew her sister was there too. Part of its selling point to Av was they would be going to the same school. I did have to fib to Av a few times on Fridays when she would talk about Camille going to school too. Now that Av is back at Friends I drop Camille off first because it is on the way to Friends. Before we left the house on Friday I told Av that Camille was not going to school today so we would not need to drop her off. She asked why and I played it up that Camille was too little and only big girls get to go to school 3 days a week. So then she asked if Miss Linda was coming to watch Camille. That surprised me because Linda had not come to watch Camille in awhile. I had to fib and say yes because Av would definitely have wanted to stay home with momma sissy if she knew. I feel guilty about it but I keep telling myself school is good for her and she needs to learn to be away from momma and the comfort of momma. She even asked if I was going to work. I hate not telling her the truth. Maybe I should have and just dealt with it instead of keeping her in the dark. The first thing she told John that afternoon when he got home (after she had a great day at school) was that “Camille didn’t go to school today.” This morning she must have asked 10 times if Camille was going to school too. I can’t wait until Av starts to feel confident at school again so this is not so much of an issue. I think that will be the right time to start telling Av that Camille stays home with me on Fridays.
