I know my feelings will probably change, but I honestly feel excited for my daughter (and for myself and dh that get to watch hre grow and learn). I don't want to put too much pressure on her so I have to be careful, but I am excited at the chance that some doors may be opened for her that were closed for me. So excited is definitely a feeling I have, but pure exhaustion is another feeling! She is non stop. She is constantly asking questions, wanting to look at everything...touch, smell, listen...everything is interesting to her (except most of the thigns that you would think a 2 year old would like!). It's tiring!
So sadness, and grief are not feelings that I have at this moment, but I definitely understand how sadness could occur in the future...maybe during the school days?
