A new year.

Wow, that time of year has come around again.
The school holidays always go so fast. Tomorrow is the first day of grade 3. Grade 3! Man that really creeps up on you. It's really scary because I still remember things from when I was in grade 3. It was a big year for learning things and being more socially aware. I learned my first real swear words in grade 3 (And subsequently had my mouth washed out with soap.) Kids in school were starting to experiment with boyfriends & girlfriends. I don't know if I am ready for my kid to be going through these sorts of experiences.

I am really sad to be letting him go. It hits me hard every year but I think this is one of the worst yet. I guess I can put that down to the realization that he is getting older. He is so mature. Urghh I used to think people who spoke like this needed to go out and get a life but I guess it is one of those emotions you can never understand until you go through it yourself. I am so proud of my little man and all that he is becoming. I know one day he be off on his own adventures in this world and I will have to come to terms with that when the time comes but until then he is my baby and I'm going to cherish him forever.
