wow! holy moly! this can't be possible! What????! I'm sure I could fill pages with comments all simply leading to my disbelief that today my baby began her senior year.
She of course was quite low keyed about the whole event/milestone. "Hurry up and take the pic mom, I'm running late" my comment of "do you realize this is the last time I will take a first day of school pic of you" was said to a departing back as she hurried out the door, oh well at least she paused long enough for me to capture a picture.
I find that this time I'm more accepting of the whole senior year, the first time around was tragic for me, just frustrating for Beckie in having to deal with me and my issues. Glad to say by February said issues were resolved and replaced with she needs to leave for college now!, they must have an early entry program somewhere... I beleive God makes them difficult just so you can let them go...with Josh, so hard to compare as with all things with him, it was so laid back simple, some minor bumps but nothing to write home about...the kid is just so easy going his senior year was relitively calm and simple. With Cassandra I'm not sure where I fall, it is bittersweet when your baby reaches this milestone, and yet we are not looking at an empty next in the fall as we would have imagined a few years ago... with three little ones waiting to begin their public school education, we find we are once again back at the beginning, funny how life works isn't it? I'm excited for Cassandra to experience her senior year, so many endings and yet just waiting within reach are so many new beginnings. So perhaps with time I've learned that it doesn't have to be a sad event, but rather an exciting, opportunity to see what she has accomplished and watch where she is going, I think she is a pretty amazing person, quite proud of the young adult she has become, of course I'm mom therefore I'm allowed to have an opinion :) and so today we begin another senior year...I'm kinda excited to see what next she will do. Noticed that once I loaded the pic her eyes are closed, go figure, I take one pic and naturally her eyes are closed, this is so Cassandra...here's hoping you enjoy your back to school moments.Deb
