it was fun to catch up with friends we haven't seen for a bit and meet some new ones as well. it's interesting to see the moms of first time kindergardeners and the seasoned moms who's babies are in their last year at this school.
i sit in awe of how quickly kids grow. it is a reminder of how we need to release them a little each day--because the act of having to do it all at once would be absolutely heart-breaking. my fourth grader walked the halls tonight feeling confident, knowing where to go and what to do. my heart aches just a little for the moment where he gets to start over again in middle school, unsure of where to go and where his friends will be.
i don't want to make my boys grow up any faster than they need to, but i don't want to hold on too tightly that they miss a step in their growing up. i'll let go just today's worth and hold on to tomorrow's. tomorrow will be here soon enough.
