Who's at the door?

So I dont let Stormie play outside in the front at all if im not there watching her like a hawk. The kids in the neighborhood are always playing outside riding their bikes in the street, wich Storm is not allowed to do. Im just scared if I dont watch her close she will get hurt or forget to watch for cars or kidnapped. Im just always worried of the worst!! Her friends always come and ask if she can go play and I always say no. Just because I dont want her out of my eye. Sometimes they play here, but usually the times they can play is after school and thats when the little ones nap so its hard to have loud kids playing here. So for the most part she just stays home with us. Finally i have let her go a couple houses down to play with a group of kids. The boys mom watches them from inside and I pop out and check on her.I just realized maybe she is old enough now to play outside with a group of kids I guess thats safe. She knows dont leave where I know she is playing, no streets ect. I just have a hard time letting go that she isnt a baby. I just started letting her pour her own cereal!! I pick her clothes still, wash her hair, I think its time i step off a little. I think it will help her mature a bit more. I remember playing with my friends when I was her age outside, so I guess i shoudent shelter her so much!! I just cant believe my little girl is such a little lady now.
