I Blinked

I'm not sure if it was the way that Morgan looked at me the other night, cocked her head, and then started telling me a story about school...

or Tanner telling me the other night that "I don't like change!" (SOOOO like his father)

or looking at different kindergartens* for next year...

but over the last few days, I looked at my children, and I didn't see toddlers anymore. I didn't see little kids...I just saw kids. Kids who make their own decisions, take care of many of their own needs, children who have these vivid imaginations. And I realized that they aren't my babies anyomore...they're my "kids".








* Yes, really, looking at kindergartens. Our school district offers "school of choice" which means that we don't have to go to our "home school". We'll be enrolling at another nearby elementary school. Sign-up begins 11/17. Can't believe that kindergarten starts in 9 months. GULP.

I take exception to the comment about (SOOOO like his father). There's nothing wrong with being like your father in regards to not liking change.

Thanks Stacy for your sweet comments on my blog, I'm sorry to hear about what you are dealing with regarding the school districts....

Happy New Year to you, your kids are so darn cute (and have grown so big since I last checked in on your blog!)
