First day of the new school year today! My baby is in 3rd grade.

Holy crap I just can't believe it. It seems like only yesterday I was trying to pry him off my leg while he was crying hysterically for his first day of pre-school. I will never forget that morning; I peeled him off of me, handed him over to the teacher and walked back to the car and burst into tears. My husband had to keep hold of my hand or else I would have run back and rescued my baby from the scary pre-school. Things seem to have happened in the blink of an eye. My baby is growing up. No longer the terrified, clinging 4 year old. He is now 9 and barely stops to say goodbye when I drop him off at school. I have to remind him to "Give your mother a kiss!" before he runs off to be with his friends. I am happy but sad all at the same time. I am thrilled that he is a happy and well adjusted kid, but sometimes I miss the baby that clung to me and thought I was the center of his universe. *sigh* In a few years he will be a teenager and won't want to be seen in public with his boring old mom, so I had better enjoy everything I can till then.

Puurrs to all,
