Growing Up...

I knew the day would come that my child or children would not want to be seen with me, but I didn't think that it would happen at age 6 1/2... On Wednesday, I took Cole to school since I was going on the field trip with Zoe. Cole was all excited that he didn't have to ride the bus. As soon as he was out of the vehicle, he was 10 feet in front of me... he walks right in the building and straight to his locker acting as if he didn't hear me holler his name 20 times... oh, he did glance back at me once but then turned back around as if on a mission. Mrs. Meador was standing outside the classroom and said he must have a one track mind this morning... I added that I thought he didn't want to be seen with me... Both Mrs. Meador and Mrs. Sargent found that to be very funny. I finally did get him to stop at his locker (I think he just stopped to take his jacket off and put his bookbag in the locker)... I gave him a hug (as to not embarass him with a kiss) and wished him a good day at school... I think he was embarassed to have his mom walk with him into school but might have felt differently when he got to his locker... as when I did get the hug he just smiled with a red face and asked quietly for a kiss... Maybe he isn't so embarassed of his mom yet...
