Last Day of School
No one warns you that the last day of school is almost as hard as the first day of School. I am so excited to have my Little Mia home for the summer, but am realizing how much she is growing up. She can read books, write words, add and subtract numbers...she rarely wants to hold my hand to cross the street any more, she can look both ways by herself...then there is the realization that she is in the FIRST grade! When fall comes she will spend most of her waking hours at school! It is a complex feeling to watch your kids grow up, you are so proud of them as you see their accomplishments, but on the other hand, you wish you would have cherished their babyhood, and toddler years just a little bit more. It is interesting that you can't wait for them to go to school so you can have some free time, but once they go you want them to stay home. I think it is about time somebody invented a time freeze machine.

I am already dreading the day River will go to kindergarten and it's a whole other year away. I know what you mean about wanting to hang on to these precious years. But, dang it, they just keep growing up anyway!
