Lately I've realized just how quickly time has gone by. I look at Aric and I know our baby/toddler/preschool days are rapidly coming to an end. On Tuesday I was online researching information about which elementary he will attend this fall. I also printed out the application for him to attend Kindergarten Round-Up this April. It was a tearful day for me. On one hand I want to hold onto him forever. On the other I know that I need to teach him to be self-sufficient and let him be his own person. He needs to learn how to function on his own and not be dependent on us. Right now I'm praying for wisdom on whether sending him to half-day kindergarten is the best or if a full day is what he really needs.
The truth is he is growing up. He can read, he can write, he can do math problems and so much more. Yesterday he learned how to tie his shoes.
...and was rewarded for his efforts:
I want the best for him as he grows up and begins to expand his world. As a mother all I can do is support him, teach him, pray for him and not hold on too tight when it's time to let him go. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go cry some more.
