Junior high is hitting me a lot like kindergarten did when Caleb started school. I did pretty good when I dropped him off Thursday morning for the first day. There was craziness stirring all around, so it kind of kept my mind off what was happening. However, as I sat in line to pick him up and I saw him in the crowd of kids, all wearing their nicely pressed, first-day-of-school uniforms and their student id badges, he looked SO grown up.
To make matters worse, on the second day of school as I am in line to drop him off he asks if Harvard will look at his tardy record when he is trying to get in to their school. I said probably not and he responds with "I really should look in to what their requirements are, I only have a few more years before I will be applying you know."
Yeah, it felt like someone punched me in the stomach!!
Then to help a heartaching Momma feel even better, Friday night we are watching tv and Caleb has an epiphany. "Oh! I am in middle school! That is when you start dating!! I need to start watching for a girl for me and all those dances!"
Double punch to the stomach!
