This morning

I woke up early and cried because my boy is really 8. That's it. He's accountable now...well, in 3 weeks when he gets baptized. It's like my 8 years are up and now he has to learn things the hard way and I'm just along for the ride. It's like I switched from the enforcer to the adviser over night. "Because I said so" probably isn't going to fly for much longer. lol.

Or maybe I'm just a mushy mess because it's a milestone birthday and I was up entirely too early with Clara. (4:30)

You'll do well. I know you will. So will he.

Moving realization. I shed tears with you. I went through that recently with my oldest and it is emotional.
