This has been the month of outside activities, new cities, 6 states, National Parks, new heights of sibling affection, cowboy hat obsession, and our first ever truck bed drive-in viewing. It’s been summer. I’m posting this as my baby girl is 4 days away from beginning Kindergarten, 5 days a week, in school, away from me. I wish I wasn’t the cliche heart-broken Mom dreading Monday morning, the day my baby girl officially becomes a school age child, but I am. At least a little. I’m excited for her too, but I didn’t expect to be so emotional about it. It hurts. The time. It goes.
Thank God for every minute I get to spend with these special kiddos. And for photographs to help me remember the days that sometimes seem to go by in a blur.
There are many positives of course, one of them being more one-on-one time for me and my little guy. And for that, I am grateful. The hole that will be left by his big sister, his best friend, and constant companion will be tough to fill, but I get to try. So I’m praying that God will allow us, in this time of change, to deepen our momma-son bond and give us lots of opportunities to grow and make memories together. It’s a good thing. But man, the idea of it is hard. We’re going to miss this girl!
This is the 7th month of {Daily Cup of Jo}, a 365 project chronicling our 2-year-old son’s every day moments in one second a day. Find the rest of the posts here.
