My boys go to year around school, so they started back to school this week. I'm always so sad to see them go back, and I can never believe when our summer time is over. The twins are in second grade this year, and our older son is in 5th grade.
As always, we had picked out the first day of school wear the night before, I was preparing a better than normal morning breakfast feast, the lunches were packed, and the batteries in the camera were ready for some snapping. As tradition has it, each first day of school there must be a picture taken by the front door. (This is something that my mother did for me.)
Older son, "Bye, Mom, see you later...," running, without looking back.
"Hey, wait. We need to take the before you start school picture."
"Awww.....mom."
The only excited person in the house to have their picture taken was the dog.....(him thinking he is a boy is a whole other story.)
After this was done, older son quickly made his way to the garage. He is now old enough to scooter to school. He stopped me at the door and said, "Mom, really, you're not even thinking about coming out in the garage with me - are you?"
Really? Really?
We teach them to grow up, but then when they do, it feels like it happened overnight.
So - from inside the house, without peeking out, I yell, "Love you!" (Hoping I'm loud enough for him to hear....)
