So I am one of those parents.

I swore I would never be one, but I should know better than to say never when it comes to anything child rearing related. Yes, I am over the moon that today is the first day of school for frick and frack. I swear I thought I was going to lose my mind these last couple of weeks. All they did was fight and argue. I finally gave up and quit trying to break them up and you know what happened? They eventually stopped beating the snot out of each other and played nicely. It is times like this that I really miss my mom. I wish I could call her and ask what she did with my siblings when they fought. Today marks the fifth month since she grew her angel wings and I am actually doing good. It was raining this morning, perhaps it was mom crying because she wasn't with us today. My daughter thinks that when it rains it is because Grandma misses us.

I am very happy that we had no tears this first day of school. I was a little nervous because frack has to take a bus to his school, but he was fine. He climbed right up and sat down in his seat then waved with a big grin on his face. He really thinks he is something special because he gets to ride a bus everyday and his sister does not. Frick shed no tears either as she walked to her building. For Kindergarten it took over two months before she stopped crying in the morning, 1st grade 2 weeks, and now she is in 2nd grade no tears, she didn't even want or need me to walk her to the door. When I asked her if she wanted me to walk her, she just said "No mom, that's okay, I'll be fine." As proud as I am that she was okay, I think part of me misses the sweet little girl who cried when she had to separate from me.

It is amazing how fast they grow and how big they are at such a young age. Its sad and heart warming all at the same time.
