Yesterday my daughter came home from school with a permission slip to go skating with her class as well as the dates and times that they will be going. After I took a look at the slip she then politely informed me that because she is in grade 5, I won’t need to go with her anymore. She did give me permission to attend her last skate of the year. I mainly go to all the kid’s skating sessions just to watch their progress. But I guess that won’t be happening this year. She is growing up so fast and I guess she is getting a little too old to have mom hanging around quite so much. This did make me a little sad, but I will follow her wishes and only go to the rink with her during the last skate of the year.
