Independence

There are days when I'm tired, and feel too spread out...

On days like that I wish my kids could do a little more for themselves, ya know?..

But then - I see something like this, and I change my mind.

After getting him off the bus

I stayed to chat with his driver a bit

and I came in to my 5 year old making himeslf a sandwich.

This may be no big deal to some of you. But to me.. it made me sad.

When did he get big enough to make himself a sandwich?

My mother always said to me, 'don't wish you life away'. I appreciate that saying more and more the bigger my kids get!!!
