I was walking around in the girls' school today, Sanborn Elementary, waiting for Emi to finish play practice and I was struck by how fast it's all gone. 5 years of Emi being in elementary school just flew by. I can't believe how fast. The wierd thing is that was the longest leg of school. I mean middle school is only 3 years and high school is 4. My kids are growing up way to fast and it makes me sad and nostalgic.
On the positive side, Emi is becoming a talented, dedicated and hard-working girl and I'm proud of her and her successes in life. She's smart and confident and I'm sure she'll do great things. She's been dreaming of being school president since second grade and it was quite the crowning reward for her to win. She's also in the fifth grade play tonight, with a solo. It's Labrynth, that good old David Bowie movie from the 80's. She's a pretty good little singer.
I'm trying not to let little things bother me because this realization of life going by like a train is rather sobering. Like when Evan crawls into our bed at 3:30 in the morning, most mornings. I fast forward in my mind to when he's in highschool and it's not cool anymore for me to smooch his cute little cheeks. Then I don't mind him being there.
