I had a very clear full circle moment last night as I was helping my almost-12 year old “antique” paper for his social studies project.
I remember doing the exact same activity for school with my Mum when I was his age.
When I see my kids doing the same things I did as a child…it’s incredibly bittersweet.
They are growing up. I am growing old.
…sigh…

I totally feel this. My son is headed to high school next year and so much of what is happening in his life seems just a moment ago for me in so many ways. I just keep reminding myself how lucky I am to get to watch them grow up and how much I have to look forward to in my own life as they become more independent.

Oh, I know. These kinds of things give me that “Landslide” feeling and my eyes water… ack.
(Great looking pages though, you expert!!)
