A New Driver’s License
Around 3 |
It is hard for me to believe – but my middle child got his drivers license yesterday. Where did the time go? Once upon a time he was this little boy (we always thought he was real little because his older brother was real big) with a smile that took up his whole face and while he still has a big smile – he’s not a little boy anymore.

His getting a driver’s license has been a bit harder for me to be comfortable with than it was with his brother. Not because he can’t drive well, but I think it’s because I realize now how fast this next stage of his life (and mine) will go, having already gone through it with his brother.
A Driver at Last! |
He turned 16 last month, and now he’s a junior in high school taking AP classes and working on college prep. It’s a lot for this mom to absorb. I know what comes next.
So I shall remember his big toothy little kid grin, and embrace the fact that someone else can go to the store to get milk. I am going to set aside what I know is coming soon and try to live in and enjoy the moment.
Congratulations, mom! Don't worry, he'll always be that little boy for you.
Oh no! My son is only two years away. I'm trying to slow it down as much as I can 🙁
Why do that have to grow up so fast? I wish there was a way to slow the clock down but nope, it flies by way too fast 🙂
What handsome young man you have!
