Our middle one. He is
getting big so fast. He turns five in just
two short months. And I recognize and
appreciate his fiercely independent spirit.
It is a beautiful thing to watch.
But he shakes off the hand I can only get him to hold when we cross the
street three quarters of the way across.
I can’t walk this independent soul to his classroom on his tenuous
second day of preschool. He did give me a fierce hug when I asked if it was
okay and then his classroom assistant encouraged him into his room, let him
open the big heavy door by his big, capable self and he disappeared into his
own separate life for two and half hours.
When I got back in the car, my last little one tearfully said
“Mama, I want to go to preschool!” I
laughed. It was funny…because she is
never going to preschool. Well she
might, but I am sooo going with her.
