Just remember that as children get older, it does become cool again. Hold all these precious things in your heart and pull them out when you need them. Love, Mom. PS And love to you, too, Kathy.

He will look back extra times after you drop him off or he will wave shyly or he will ask you to watch him do things more times than normal or he will ask you for help with something he really doesn’t need help with. It is different – painfully different – but it is HIS way of morphing that pre-school hug into what fits him now. Does that make sense? It is hard but also, very beautiful. Big hugs to you, my dear. 🙂
