Summer Has Begun

I went to a blogging class at church tonight, and realized how much I wanted to keep up with this, and I am disappointed in myself for not doing it. So, I am going to try again.

The rest of the school year went well, and for the most part my son is stable. Not completely, but it is such an improvement over a few months ago that it seems "stable" to me.

My little girl is starting middle school in a few months. She has the "teen" attitude to go with it a lot of the time. But, she is smart and funny and enjoyable. I really like getting to know the person she is becoming.

Originally I was going to only write about my struggles with my kids, mostly my son. But, now that things are looking up, I just want a place to express myself.

Letting Go

It is hard to see my little girl growing up. Today she is off to her first official sleepover. Not at church, not in a protected environment, but at someone else's house. Granted, she has known this girl since kindergarten, so it's not like she is going to a stranger's house, but it is still a big step. I hope she enjoys herself, and is not afraid. Yet I miss her dependence on me.
