It's been 10 years now since I had my first baby, he isn't such a baby anymore! He is entering his last year of elementary school as a 5th grader...wow, where did it all go? Madeline is stuck somewhere in the middle, 2nd grade to be exact. She thinks she is ready for junior high...and I think I am in trouble when she actually is. Then there is Sheridan. Seeing her get on the bus for kindergarten today was bitter-sweet. My baby girl who is needy in so many ways; she was more than ready to go. I thought I might cry; maybe the fact that I did not shows we are entering another part of parenthood. The part of parenting in which you realize there is a time to let go just a little bit, and it's okay. Her willingness to go so easily...is it a sign of how well we have done? I like to think so. Now Dane, OH DANE! What will he do without them? He has grown so much over the summer and has begun to interact with the other kids a lot. He has never known a house by himself, which is why I think I will be plenty busy! I think Dane and I will go grocery shopping and I will take a break from the multitude of voices I hear every day.
