• Apr. 10, 2008 - She's Growing Up Now You Know

Posted in The Mom in Me
 In just seven short weeks my little girl will be graduating.  That's 13  years of homeschooling behind us.  I haven't cried at the usual milestones that I hear of other mothers crying at.  When my daughter turned five it didn't bug me too much.  Perhaps because we homeschooled, there wasn't this big production of her leaving home everyday. 

Turning six on the other hand, I cried then.  For weeks before her birthday Eyebright would tell us, "I can't do that!  I'm only five."  The day of her 6th birthday she boldly stated, "I can do that!  I'm six now you know."  We heard these words just as frequently as we had heard she couldn't when she was five.  I'm not sure why that was a magic number for her but it was and I cried. 

I think that's what it is.  It's not my magic moments that make me cry, it's hers.  The things that thrill her and change her.  The milestones that mark a turning point in her life.  The events that take her one step further from being my baby and one step closer to being my friend. 

So now graduation is upon us and I am going to cry.  All the things she couldn't do because she wasn't a grown up will be behind her.  Soon she will be an adult now you know.

*sniff* Now you're going to make me cry too!

I hope you take this time to post some things that you remember the most... the good, the bad, the insanely funny. It would be a great encouragement to those of us that are still near the beginning of our journey!

Love,
Marsha

About the turtle: Tia Turtle is a character in a new book by Gena Suarez, "And Then Mama Said...It Takes Time to Learn to Read." Kevin Collier is the illustrator and he made me my special avatar, because yes, Tia Turtle is named after Me! (Okay, so I'm bragging. Leave me a correctional comment in love.)
