Bittersweet

As a mom, there are moments in our children's lives that are very bittersweet. School starting and all that it brings is one I can think of. The last few weeks Cody's been really taking off with his reading. As a mom, I am happy because this means that all the work I've been doing with him the last 2 1/2 years is paying off. When he was 3, I did preschool with him while Megan was in school all day and have continued to work with him since then. This summer I blogged about him starting to read when we were working on the 100 easy lessons book. Now I, and his teacher, have noticed him reading everything he lays eyes on! This is happy for me but it's also a little sad because this is my baby. He's growing up and there's sometimes feels like he doesn't need me much anymore. I know this isn't totally true, he needs me to feed him, love him, and much more but this is just the beginning. I will have to record him reading on my camera when I have time so you all can see how well he's doing. Thanks for listening!
