THAT mom

When I was little and in school, we were NEVER allowed to skip a day for any reason. Thankfully my birthday fell during the summer or I would have been trying to play hookie on days like that! I want to be a mom where on rare occasions, I will let my kids skip school. I will be THAT mom. Holdyn has never skipped school (ok, I know he is only 5 and in Pre-K... but still!). I am being THAT mom and letting Holdyn have his first 'skip school' day next week. We ran in to his old teacher this week, Ms. Maria. She told us that 'Firetruck Day' was going to take place next week. All of the firemen come to the school. They bring the firetrucks, and even their fire dog! She knows how much Holdyn loves anything fire related so she poked and prodded and twisted my arm (ok, maybe it didn't take much convincing!) to let Holdyn skip school and go back to his old school for the day to participate on Firetruck day. He is SO excited and I am too! I can't wait for teacher Mary to see how big the kids have gotten. She was Holdyn's teacher when he was in the 2 year old class and she has been loving on Hadley since she was 2 weeks old and Hadley always jumped out of my arms to go to teacher Mary! And yes, I probably will let the kids skip school on their birthdays!!!
