The school year starts up again. I was ready. The kids weren't. I am ready for schedules, bedtimes, and learning/teaching on my part. I am ready for fall activities and sports.
5th and 3rd grade Kaden and Kylie entered this year. Kaden with Ms. Allen in a trailer that holds both 5th grade classes. He is looking forward to the Oreo and Skittles science projects that this year holds. Kylie is with Ms. Crawford and is happy to hear that she may hand out candy throughout the year.
And my brother is in 8th grade. He will graduate from 8th grade in 9 short months, and then be a high schooler. He was confident going to school this year, and he is so grown up, responsible, kind, and intelligent.
I just read this quote:
“We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.”

It struck me. I am quite often thinking about Kaden and Kylie and Kollin in their grown-up years and into adulthood. I want them to learn lessons today that will help them when they are on their own. But I must not forget that they are someone today, and to embrace who they are right now, because before long, they will be grown-up, and these days will be memories. Beautiful ones.
