At Least He Knows How to Give Me a Kiss (If I Beg....)

After what felt like months (in reality only a couple of weeks) of having a clingy, separation anxiety stricken toddler attached to my leg or in my lap at all hours of the day, I think we are over the hump.

And my feelings are hurt.

I dropped him off at school today, expecting the normal game of pouting and a few tears.With mama having to say a quick goodbye and head for the door.

Today Andrew spotted the now familiar toys, glanced at me, and RAN towards the toys and his friends. Not even a look back to see if I was okay with his sudden independence.

After weeks of praying for an end to the days of having a toddler who cried if he wasn't in my lap or in my arms, I found myself a touch sad that he knew he was going to be okay without me.

Sometimes the growing up really is just too fast, too soon, too sudden.
