Question?

This is how I think of Crate...quiet, sweet, loving...

Today was a BIG step for me. Crate received a call from a good friend at school asking if they could go to a rec center and play while his mother went to work.

Initially my reaction was NO WAY!! I am not a big fan of "playing with school friends". Not because they are bad, but because I don't have the opportunity to meet their parents, see where they live, know how they behave... I am just an over protective mom I guess...no, I just AM! no guessing. So I looked at those BIG BLUE AMAZING EYES and thought...he's not my baby any more...We have taught him well and it's time to put that trust into action...even if it includes trusting others...which I'm not very good at.

So, off he went...panic in my heart, a SMILE on his face. "Thanks Mom"...and the door shut. Tears are streaming down my face...WHY?

They grow up so fast, I haven't aged at all...

My boys are my LIFE. They are my everything. They make me who I am. I know that they will one day grow up...just not ready for that to happen TODAY!
