How can it be that almost 9 years ago Caleb was riding in style in his car seat and every where I went he came along w/ me and then today my life was changed when he asked to walk to school today for Walking Wednesday( he has been asking for a while and I kept putting it off). Last night I scrambled to find a neighborhood friend to walk w/ him but no one else was walking today, Darren said it would be ok. I texted my Mom & Sue for advice and they both said let him do it and just watch him...I was so torn I wanted to give him the opportunity for some more responsibility but yet he seems so little to be walking on his own. So this morning I told him could walk and told him the route he would be taking. I crossed him and let him go BUT of course I then got in my car and followed him! He yelled to me to stop luckily his teacher Mrs. Farrell was walking too and told him they could walk the rest of they way together. Another milestone met and we both survived, it may seem like a little thing but it isn't he is growing up so fast and in some ways doesn't need me anymore. I am so proud of the young man he is becoming but at times I wish he was this 4 day old baby on his way home from the hospital safe and secure in his car seat!
