As They Grow Up

A journal marking the milestones of our children.

Well, I had a talk with Monkey. One of 'the' talks. Yes we talked about walking to school on his own. We've talked every once and a while all year about him walking on his own. He likes our walks, and that was part of his hesitance, but we still walk the dog together.

Thursday morning it happened! I hugged him, wished him a good day and off he went. No call from school, so I figured he got there. I've walked him almost every day all school year and it's a straight line, so not yard. I had full confidence in him.

No more bubble wrapped kid. Not that he was at too much of a risk. I let my kids make mistakes and have both space AND independence. ;)
