First Day Of School 2011




I cannot believe that Daemyan is in 5th grade!
Today was his first day, which, of course was met with excitement and anxiety. (By both of us!)



Once he was re-united with his best buds, I was pretty much non-existent, a.k.a., embarrassing.

I have come to accept this painful part of  growing up.

What I don't tell, (and never would),  his homies, is that he still likes to snuggle at night and get a back rub. He still wants me to make up stories to help him fall asleep. He still wants warm milk, his vitamins and a papaya tablet. As "insignificant" as these things seem to be, they are precious and fleeting as life itself. I understand his need to break away from grandma in front of others, but I know better!

His precious little life is growing and changing and I have to help him be independent by just "being there". How cliche, but how true.

He came home excited and enthusiastic and my heart is filled with joy and gratitude.

  1. Darling pics! I know just what you mean by excitement and anxiety. We just had school orientation today. Noelle left a lot more at ease than when we arrived, which helped me to relax too!
