Every season of parenting is a gain and a loss. I had to learn to embrace the good of each step (their independence and needing me less) or I’d waste the good as I mourned the loss (them needing me and I was more in control of where they were).
But I will say I still love the junior high years the best of all…mine, the boys, and teaching.
Love this as my oldest will be starting kindergarten in the fall 🥹

How did you articulate the feelings of these moments SO perfectly? How!?
I remember the challenge of that kinder schedule. That era was the last time I wore a watch.
