I'm pretty sure that it can be both broken and happy at the same time. I found this to be true last fall when my sweet little man left me and struck out on his own. Well, okay, striking out on his own might be an exaggeration but he did enter the world known as "big school". He started Kindergarten. My heart broke. My heart felt happy and proud. I guess that as a mother I have a whole lifetime of holding both saddness and proudness (word?) in my heart simultaneously. So, that day came and I wept...and I beamed with pride...and I smiled. WOW, what a day!!
This is the smiling face that I miss all day everyday! He LOVES school so much and I know that his days are filled with love and laughter.

On the very same day, I had to take my baby girl to her first day of 4K. How much can one momma take?? Next fall when the baby starts to Kindergarten I'm pretty sure I'll need sedating. She REALLY loves her little school and her teacher, too. I am SO happy that my babies are having such a great school year in Alabama. Even if it was hard on momma to accept that they are growing up so quickly.
