i just got an email that scared the shit out of me. on june 3rd at 600p i need to attend an orientation for the tween's soon-to-be middle school. could this be happening? am i sending him off to middle school already? where did the elementary years go?
when the tween was a baby i could not tell you how many times i would hear the mantra, "the time goes by so fast. enjoy while it's here." i heard them, but i didn't listen. the time has flown by. i can remember the day he came into this world like it was yesterday. it actually was almost 12 years ago, though. how i wish i could turn back the clocks.
it is very rewarding to watch your children grow, but it has to be the most bittersweet thing ever. on one hand you are so proud of them and all their accomplishments. on the other hand, though, you wish you could just scoop them up and sit them on your lap for all of eternity.
i have so many reservations about him moving to middle school. so many changes are in store for him (and us). i need to have strength in knowing we are raising him to make the right decisions. even though he is the tween and then he will be the teen and so on, my heart will always know him as my sweet baby boy. i love you.
