First Day of School

He's growing so fast.  A big 3rd grader now.  Excited about school and making new friends.  It's getting easier each year to watch his wings grow. Yet I still look back on pictures of him as a baby and the memories come flooding back like it was yesterday.  I'm ready for him to take on the 3rd grade but wanting time to stop in its tracks... for just a little while.  

Her first day of school was anticipated with much apprehension.  Though not on her part, but on mine.  Her previous year of preschool was a constant struggle.  Tears and complaining each "school day" morning.  Worries that she was spending her days with kids much younger than her, learning things she already knew.  And so this day also felt overdue.  Like she should have been in kindergarten a long time ago.  But there were no tears, no complaining, no whining, no attitude.  My beautiful girl woke up ready to take on the world.  We'll see how long it lasts...

I pray they dream big and learn never to give up.  The process of watching them grow up...
