Seeing everyone's Facebook post about “first day of school” – especially my own – have me thinking a lot this week about how time really does fly by. At first, it seems like they’ll stay little forever and we’ll always be worrying about enough wet diapers, eating solid foods, breastfeeding challenges, sleeping through the night, potty training and hitting those major toddler milestones right on time. It has just made me realize this week that all you do is trade one kind of worry for another. I think that as parents we will always worry. It is simply natural. Will they learn enough? Will they be a good friend? Are they compassionate? Do they like sports or music or both? Did they make their bed this morning and pick up their room? Will they stand up to bullying? Will they use all of the lessons I have tried so hard to teach them to be a good person.
I am seriously tearing up typing this! I have one in Kindergarten and one in 5th Grade???
I have flashbacks of my mom’s eyes when I started Kindergarten and sometimes even remember the tears of equal joy and sadness as she was seeing me make that transition from baby to a more independent little person in Kindergarten.
So good luck, mamas, on this the first or second week back to school with your little ones. Savor each sweet little moment for it really does go by in a blink.
Speaking of time going so fast....We had Keaton's 6 month session recently! Keaton is part of my Watch me GROW! Baby Plan. Let me just tell you, she has grown so much! She is as cute as a button and is oh so happy! Here are a few from our session.
