Do you ever have those days where it seems like everything conspires to make you feel your age? Well, today is one of those days!
The biggest culprit? Andy started the bookwork for Driver's Ed this afternoon. I just dropped him off at the local high school for his first day of class. Is it really possible that it has been 14 1/2 years since I was debating whether to give him a pacifier or not! Just yesterday, it seems, he was moving from a crib to a "big-boy bed" and learning to read with John Burningham's Mr. Gumpy's Motor Car. Now, his feet hang off the end of his twin bed and he's working his way through Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for part of his freshman homeschool Literature class! During those first 6 months of his life, when colic was making us both scream, I couldn't imagine him being nearly 6 feet tall with a thickening mustache and the beginnings of a goatee. Today, he's learning the rules of the road. Before we know it, he'll be wanting the keys for a date and graduating from our homeschool, then packing for college! My, how time flies!
I'm sure some of you reading this are nodding your heads and smiling as you remember your own experiences with growing kids - got any good survival tips?!?
