My sweet 8 year old girl & I went to her new school open evening. I got all nostalgic & sad that First school is in its final year. It only seems a couple of years ago that we were deciding what first school to go to. Now she's all bigger & not my little-girl anymore. I really see the changes in her body preparing her for adolescence. I try not to get all bitter sweet about it but dammit, its all getting away from me. I really need to remember my word for the year - Delight - and enjoy what is. My sweet baby is growing into a young girl, soon to be a girl-woman. That is the way things go, and its OK. She will always be my precious first born, whatever age she is.
I know your pain, my first is 10 and middle one is 8 and they suddenly look all grown up :-( I am happy for them but sad I am losing them in a little way. x
ReplyDeleteI have ten years on you ... my little girl will be 18 in December !!! She takes her driving test soon. HOW did that happen ?
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel - I used to dread mine getting older but I can honestly say, all the changes have been wonderful and I really really do not miss standing in the playground anymore !

ReplyDeleteI hate mine getting older, they're 15 and 12 and really growing in to young adults now. I think they'll always be my babies though.
ReplyDeleteCrikey dick, my little girl is 19 now and has left home too! Now I really do feel old, x
