Growing Independence



  I live in a house with kids and a husband.  Many of you know sometimes things wait for us to do them and sometimes we eagerly delegate things for others to do.  Although we all know we should have just done it ourselves.

  Pulling out dishes with food on it, grease in the cracks or unidentifiable substances.

  I should have just washed them myself!

3 bottles of cooking oil, 6 packages of bacon on sale, potato chips and milk on a grocery run.

I should have just done it myself!

  My last child is growing up and I have to be ready regardless.

 He's growing up and he doesn't need me as much anymore.


He is buttoning his own clothes.


Zips up his own jackets.


Brushes his teeth more eagerly thanks to his new Spinbrush! 

Thankfully he still needs me for little things and I'll hold on to that.


Is this right?

He is not only my last but, the 4th and the 
only boy!  

He holds a special place in my heart partly because I hold a special place in his.


  It's all about cherishing the memories.  Appreciate the time you were helpful and look towards the future for the new opportunities.
