I took him upstairs and followed him to drop off his coat and his lunch and expected he would turn to me and give me a hug and say goodbye. But nope I had to grab him and give him a big squeeze in front of his friend. He acted annoyed for his friend but I felt him hug me back just a little. :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03327391228766879326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-19146516670706359262010-03-05T05:36:47.965-08:002010-03-05T05:36:47.965-08:00All the above comments are so true.

But the worst was when I took them to college and had to get in the car when we moved them into their college dorms...I cried for days and days. Enjoy every moment and remember there is lots of sewing to be done when they are grown...right now time with them comes first.(that sounded a little preachy...sorry)<br /><br />PatPat / Silver Thimble Quilt Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02099278810963320102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-13490251916107392232010-03-05T03:40:51.376-08:002010-03-05T03:40:51.376-08:00I know I have said this lots of times but cherish ...I know I have said this lots of times but cherish all the moments because next thing you know they are all grown up and off on their own.

He said the hardest were the first and the last. But with two children I only have a first and a last I wailed inside my head! <br /><br />Whenever my daughter leaves to go back to school, I still remember that first day dropping her off at preschool (which she called Pretty School). One of the teacher's met her at the car and she walked into the building hand-in-hand with her teacher without looking back. Such confidence from her, while I was a puddle in the car!<br /><br />Okay, now I'm tearing up!wishes, true and kindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569644595415450495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-12049501738848523502010-03-04T20:02:57.573-08:002010-03-04T20:02:57.573-08:00Now you are gonna make me cry!!!Now you are gonna make me cry!!!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-13424739779970170482010-03-04T18:47:43.814-08:002010-03-04T18:47:43.814-08:00Nope - never gets easy.

My nephew has autism and will never leave home, and I think when I realized this, it helped me over the extreme side of the emotions of kids growing older. That's what we want to happen. We don't want them always dependent on us, handicapped or unable to function. So now, for the most part, I approach such milestones with joy! They're doing what they're supposed to be doing, what they need to do...<br /><br />From someone whose oldest is headed off to college next year and is so excited he's living at home at least the first year (so I can still have him that much longer!) lolDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367663127351652530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-63158466512885703072010-03-04T13:00:46.074-08:002010-03-04T13:00:46.074-08:00Awe Terri, what a special day it has been :) They...Awe Terri, what a special day it has been :) They grow and get bigger and your pride grows with them - enjoy every moment, they grow so fast. :) My own little girl appraches teenage years and I still haven't worked out how that happened!
