So, I officially have a son who is in kindergarten. There are days when it just doesn't seem real and others when I look at him and I see a college student, like a fast forward screen-shot of a man, not a boy.
On his first day, he woke up and got dressed in his motorcycle shorts and green shirt as excited as I've ever seen him. His backpack looked as big as him as he trotted off to the bus stop. The grandparents came along and everyone was teary-eyed as we watched his little head, barely seeing his eyes, drive away on the bus. Why is it that the whole world seems to stop at that moment? A realization that nothing will be the same. Ever again. And, well, it hasn't. It's been chaos, learning new rules, new teachers, new schedules. Amazingly enough, we've survived the first couple of weeks and we're on the educational road, but it all seems like such a blur.
I'm so thankful that God gave me such an opportunity to be a part of it all. I'm a stronger mama for the experience and anxious for the journeys to come. So, for now, I'll keep my chin up and I'll keep looking forward, hoping that each day will go a little slower than the day before so that I can cherish each second.
