You're now 7 and the time just flies by anymore. A little story for us to remember ....
Yesterday was Saturday (day before your birthday). We were having a garage sale and you were pleading that you were old enough to walk to the library to return books and check-out new ones. The library is a mere 1-1/2 blocks away, crossing 1-side street. Immediately I said no and off you went inside. You came back with a note that said "Trust Me Mommy" and 2-nickels taped to the backside (not sure the significance but anyway..).
I reluctantly said yes.
I walked to the end of the drive with you and watch you walk towards the library and in the distance you turned around just before crossing the street with the biggest grin of proudness on your face. I was proud too - of Adeline and of myself for letting her "go" to the library.
Of course I was counting the minutes for her to come back. And she did come back in about 7 minutes with more books, which she read all of them tonight at bedtime.
Oh how time moves too quickly..
Love -
Mom and Dad
