Not my baby anymore

Isn’t it weird how 4 is little and 5 is big?

Little Man turned 5 and over night my baby grew a centimetre over night and lost the little boy look.

I quietly weeped on his first day of school, watching him meeting new friends, meet his teacher and learn the morning classroom routine. The only time he needed me was when his mother turned up to the school and he became a little boy again, trying to shrink into me and become as small as possible.

Since then, we walk him down to his classroom and a quick hug and he’s off. Chatting with other kids and finding something to do until the bell goes.

Happy Birthday Little Man.
You have my whole heart.
