Co-Op Mommies.

It's been almost a year since I enrolled Brody in Kids' Co-Op. I remember thinking that the school was so wonderful because they let kids be kids. They didn't restrict them; they let them play, they let them get dirty, they let them be superheros and princesses. I wanted that for Brody more than anything. I wanted him to have this wonderful outlook on school, a place where he could be Brody. When the beginning of school started it was such a neat experience for him but what I didn't realize, is that it turned out to be such a great experience for me too! I never would have thought that a year ago I was going meet such great moms. I was the new girl at school (sounds so HS :) and there were a handful of them that welcomed me with open arms. All the moms have been so great during this hard time we have been going through, they will never know how much an email, a birthday party invite or a simple voicemail has meant. I never expected any sort of friendships out of this but I think I gained more from this school than Brody!
