Today, B started grade 2.
In a month, H turns 2.
Wow.
B is ecstatic for school; Has been counting the days. Last night she made a list of everything to do (definitely my child), and this morning she jumped out of bed and began checking things off as she did them.
It's hard for me to understand how the time has gone so quickly. Although high school feels like a lifetime ago, starting a family seems as something much more recent.
I've found I've been a little more emotional the last few days. Grade Two. Seven years have gone by, and I remember the tears that filled my eyes on her first day of playschool when she was 3. They were quite similar to the tears that gathered yesterday.
My husband said at least it isn't her going into high school. The way I see it is that tomorrow she will be. How did our parents handle this every year? My kids getting older reminds me I'm getting older. It all just goes too fast.
I suppose just make the best of the time you have. Take advantage of all your time you have with your kids (or your grand kids) because one day they'll be going into grade 2 and you too might be wondering how it's flown by.
How will I ever handle her graduating high school!!
