The worst day of my life!

My son Jared, who's 9 years old, often tells me he's bored. If his little buddies aren't home or simply can't come out and play he pouts and with much attitude says "This is the worst day of my life!!" I was talking to Tate's mother recently and she commented on how Tate says that same thing. If he calls our house and Jared can't play it is "the worst day of his life!" Or if he isn't allowed to play something it's "the worst day of his life!!". I figure it must be a 9 year old thing and they'll get over it. Today I took my baby girl to bookstore days at the JR HIGH!! Yeah, that's right, I said JR HIGH!! Isn't that horrible? I mean, this is my only daughter!! She was supposed to stay 2 or 3 forever!! When did she grow up? And furthermore, how do I stop this?! We got her schedule, PE clothes, etc... And when we walked out of there and she handed me her student ID, it hit me that my baby girl was my baby no more. And I knew exactly what Jared and Tate mean...This is the worst day of my life!!

When our babies grow up it truly is the "worst day of our lives". I know what you mean. However, your baby girl seems to be growing into a very beautiful young lady and will be a beautiful woman just like her Mom.

Kevra and I went to do a little school shopping the other day, she drove the whole time, gets her license next month. She starts high school and I already know it will go so quickly then she'll be gone to college. I have to enjoy these moments and days, not think of tomorrow or dwindle in yesterday, but enjoy the moments I get to spend with her.
