I've been feeling twinges of sadness; my little boy (not so little anymore) has three more days of elementary school, then it's off to middle school in the fall. It doesn't seem that long ago that we sent him off to kindergarten. I absolutely love the person he's become, I guess the sadness comes from closing one chapter of the book (and acknowledging that I'm getting older too). It really hit last week when we went to open house. After we toured his classroom, I realized after following him to a couple of other classrooms that he was taking a walk down memory lane by visiting all of his former teachers. It was really great to talk to them all. (Sigh.)
Does anyone else feel this way?

Thanks,
you
guys!
I
needed
that.
Sandra Tayler 17th Jun
My
oldest
started
Junior
High
last
Fall.
It
felt
big
and
scary.
I
could
hardly
believe
she
was
that
old.
I
didn't
mourn
much
for
elementary
school
because
I
still
have
three
kids
there.
I'll
probably
go
through
that
when
my
youngest
gets
to
junior
high.
I
suspect
you're
having
a
hard
time
because
you
have
the
double
whammy
of
dealing
with
junior
high
for
the
first
time
and
with
leaving
elementary
behind
forever.

Thank
you.
You've
just
given
me
permission
to
feel
that
way
when
it's
my
son's
turn.
In
the
meantime,
hugs!

Paula.

I
know
I
did.
My
son's
first
year
of
junior
high
was
this
last
year.
I
walked
into
that
junior
high
for
orientation
and
I
said
outloud,
"This
school
is
way
too
big
and
way
too
scary
and
I'm
not
ready
for
it!"
My
son
told
me
if
I
kept
that
up,
I
would
embarrass
him.
He
was
right,
but
it
was
really
an
instant
reaction.
My
kids
were
just
born
yesterday,
I
would
swear.
Time
flies.
Here
is
a
lesson
I
learned
right
after
that.
When
I
look
back
to
remember,
it's
okay,
but
if
I
linger
too
long
in
the
past,
I
miss
the
stuff
that's
happening
in
the
present.
You'll
get
through
this.
It's
hard
on
me
everytime
that
have
a
birthday
or
switch
grades.
I
am
pretty
sure
most
mommies
can
relate.
Talk
to
you
later!
