I remember when he used to reach up to me and beg for me to carry him
now I'm trying to keep up to him as he races down this huge campus. I hope he doesn't get lost while trying to get to his classes his first week of school. I would have been petrified at a school this size.
I remember when his school supply list included flash cards...now he needs flash drives.
I don't remember being as responsible as he is. He's already planning out his whole four years - and making good choices...planning to take four years of advanced math, advanced science, advanced foreign language. I was not such a planner...must take after his father...
I can't believe how brave this boy of mine is. And then I look at him - all 5 foot, 11 inches of him. He's a young man. I can hardly believe it. He's in career planning classes - taking intro to Engineering. He'll be in Driver's Ed second semester.
A young man.
And I thought summer was passing me by quickly.
These past 14 years have flown. I'm so blessed to have these great kids of mine. And so many great memories. Only four more years with this one. How can this be?

Wow...they grow up so fast! I can't imagine my boys at that age, but I know it's going to happen before I know it! Sounds like you have an amazing son....although that is no surprise with parent's like you guys!
That just tears to my eyes thinking of my kids that age, it really does goes by way to fast! He sounds like an amazing young man, you did good Mama! :)

You made me tear up on this one. Watching them grow and go is beautiful and sad all at the same time.
This mom is feeling eerily similar to you, but instead of "career" classes, I'm worried about her having to rever to velcro shoes instaed of her tie shoes for gym class. I think that's silly....soon I'll be worrying about her registering for her driver's ed classes.
Not cool, Pennie. Not cool....when were you going to make that concoction that keeps them little forever?????? Maybe it won't be that bad.....but then I read these memories and I well up and think, this will NEVER happen to me, it's so far away....
YEAH RIGHT.
I am reflecting on how much my babies have grown since kindergarten!! I can not imagine the high school scene... but it is fast approaching! You are a great mama !!
Oh Pennie, it brought tears to my eyes reading this blog post!! Aaron sounds like such a great kid...he takes after his Mom huh :o)
I am trying to get caught up on my blog reading since I haven't really been on much in the last week. I hope you are doing good, I have been thinking about you a lot. I even had a dream about you the other day. I dreamt that we met and you had just colored your hair a dark brown and were so excited to show me :o)
Have a great Monday!!
