In Just a Few Hours...

In just a few hours, this amazing little guy will be graduating from Kindergarten.

I am so incredibly proud of him and the boy he has become this past year.  He is such a great, loving, funny kid.

 

It's so odd how I can feel so happy for him, yet so sad at the same time.  Such conflicting emotions.  I'm finding that's the way motherhood works, though...

You find such joy in your children - such happiness when they are successful.  You celebrate with them, cheer for them, hug them, kiss them, tell them how proud you are.  And you are.  You really and truly are because you want nothing but the best for them.

But, on the inside, a part of you aches.  You cry.  Because they are growing up.   They won't be your little one forever.  And you would give anything to just go back - one more night - to rock them and smell their sweet baby breath and hear their coos.

{Good grief - I sound like he's graduating high school and moving off!  Can you imagine how bad it's going to be when they do start graduating high school?  Heaven help us :) }

I love you, Noah James Maddox!  I'm so very very proud of you!
