the growing never stops

Last week I was wondering how I would feel when Grant went to Kindergarden. Most women around me asked the loaded question in the super spooky voice, "What are you going to do when Grant goes to Kindergarden!?" I felt a bit like if I was a good mom I would cry or be disturbed or something... but alas, today is the day and I feel good. I guess I'm just not as surprised as I used to be that my baby is always growing. And I find a lot of joy in sharing new things with him. This summer Grant has accomplished a lot! He went from the little bike with training wheels to the big bike with a kickstand. At the water park he went from not wanting to go down the frog slide to taking on Tortuga - by himself - backwards. And in his kindergarden interview, even though he'll be one of the youngest in his class, the teacher said he'll be in the advanced group. I guess I'm ready for the challenge because he is. He can do it! And I'm very proud of him!

Now when Calli goes to school it may be a whole different story seeing as she will be my baby forever.
