The more I learn about this parenting journey, the more I realize that it is so much about letting go.
Little things,
big things.
Stages, phases, expectations.
Control.
Trust.
Watching them board a bus for a day camp field trip...
Hard for me.
Fun for them.
Tiny in the scheme of the letting go to come.
But still big.
Being a grown up is hard.
Hang in there! Jesus knows it's scary to be us. :D

aghhh. so hard. exactly why i want 218 kids. so there is always one to hang onto. totally healthy, right? riiiiight? ;)
ReplyDeleteMmmhmmm. I so understand. I actually feel that ache every time I walk away from my crying daughter in church nursery. She is only 15 months old so I have a loonnngg road ahead of me too;0. hugs.
ReplyDeleteagreed. good job little momma.
ReplyDeletethanks, you made me cry. i've been having the mommy blues about sending my first to pre-school in the fall. i want to throw up every time i think about it. so hard. baby steps is right.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I know what your going through. My baby is 4 and starts school in about 4wks, I have been trying to prepare myself, but Im gonna miss her so much. I have been a stay at home parent all her life, and I have never ever let anyone babysit her but my mom and that was few and far between! But Im hoping that by me going back to school will help!
ReplyDeleteamen.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful site to see them board together, holding hands. very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI just had one of those "mom moments" yesterday. I dropped my 4 year old off for VBS. She is old enough now, I'm not required to stay in the building. Her teacher came up, took her hand and they walked into the sanctuary. Oh, my heart...I started tearing up and by the time I was in the car I was crying... I'm a working mom, this shouldn't be so hard, but it was. What am I going to do in a couple of weeks when she goes to school? "sniffle"
ReplyDelete21yr old and 14yr old...... SO HARD!
ReplyDelete<3
I REALLY understand you!
ReplyDeleteI've had that thought a lot this week. Somethings, just not fun to deal with...others just hard. =)
ReplyDeleteohmygoodness. i know that's hard! my oldest is 4 & i literally cannot think about the "k word" (kinder...) without tears. breathe. breathe.
ReplyDeletejust saying, you're not alone :) glad i'm not, either!
Um yeah...guilty too!
ReplyDeleteCute photo!
And love the butterfly backpack, Gap? I love the Gap backpacks. I just picked up a light pink one with hearts all over it with (and for my) daughter yesterday at Goodwill. I said can we share it, because it is kind of big for her, she is four, and she agreed. I’m lucky for now. ;)
What a wonderful post, thanks so much for sharing!
