Today I took two of my children to a meet and greet at their school. I still can't believe that my baby is in middle school! My kids looked so excited walking around the school, meeting teachers and seeing their friends.
"Back to school" always brings out so many different emotions in our family. It is a mix of intimidation, excitement, and sadness. I remember each child going off to school for the first time. They looked so little. The school was so big. The teacher was so big. And the principal was enormous! But it took no time at all for them to return home excited about the new adventure ahead.
The emotion of sadness is always what I feel as "Mom." Yes, I am happy for all the new things in my children's lives but the beginning of the school year is just another reminder that they are growing up; Another reminder that the years go by all too fast.
So, after I shed a few tears, and heave a big sigh, I go back to being "Mom." I go back to loving my children, listening to my children, and enjoying every stage of their lives. Now, where did I put that extra box of pencils?
