Starting from the Toddler program at Growing Tree, all throughout Nursery and thru Pre-K, my drop off routine with Lauren was a hug, a kiss, and two high fives. This morning, out of no where, Lauren told me, "But mom, my friends don't do that." When I responded in shock, "Lauren!" she said, "Okay fine. But no high fives." So I settled for a hug and a kiss.
When I got back in the car to head to work, I was in such disbelief and overcome with sadness. Children, even mine, do grow up. I wouldn't have been so upset, I don't think, if it was E since she has always been more independent but this is my Lauren!
