My house is quiet - I can hear myself think and my baby snoring.  The TV is off, there are no children screaming or whining.  Our visit with our inlaws is over, and though fun for the children it was quite stressful for many reasons.

But there is an added tranquility to the day.  Jaden has gone to “Kiddy Camp” - every morning for three weeks he will go, leaving me with two and a half hours a day to do goodness knows what.

A part of me is sad - my little boy is venturing out into the world, to be a little boy no more.  I miss him already, and wonder if he’s okay.  Another part of me is ecstatic - my boy is growing up and doing things on his own, and I have a minute of free time.

And still another part of me knows that in just over a year my little boy will be in school all day long.  I’m going to miss him so much!  Growing up is hard to do, but it’s also hard to watch!
