Today Ian had his first day of school for the year! He will be going 4 mornings a week. He was ready for this day 2 weeks ago when his brothers went off to school on their first day. Last year at his drop-off, I ran from the building with my sunglasses on, sobbing. This year, I ran from the building because, well, I was going for a run. Ah, the difference a year makes. I still love him, but I love that my children are independent and enthusiastic and enjoy school and adventures. And so this time alone now feels like a little reward for hanging in there for the past 9 years, always having someone literally hanging off my body like a baby monkey. And it is that much sweeter when they come back home!
