is breaking my heart! He's growing up faster by the day.
I am not ready for all the changes and growing up that is happening each day around here! I'm used to picking his friends, knowing their parents, dropping him off (or staying!) for playdates with people I know well. I'm used to knowing many (probably too many) of the details of his day. I'm used to wishing I had a little more time to myself.
But, as I sit here and write, this boy was picked up by a mom I barely know to play with a boy that I barely know at a house I have never been to before. It's killing me! But, he was so excited, so proud, so responsible (even packed himself a snack to take!)
And, to top it off, he'd rather go to his friend's house than with me to the zoo tomorrow. What is happening?!?
He did make my heart smile when he told me he was "so lucky to come home every day for lunch and to be with me, instead of go to enrichment like the other kids."
I guess I'll take him when I can get him! And, to be honest, I am proud of the boy he's becoming, proud of his reaching out and making friends, proud of his hard work learning at school and proud of the caring brother and son he is.
