We took Levi to kindergarten registration and the principal asked all parents whose child was their first to go to kindergarten to raise their hands.

Yes, it's sad to see those moments go, but the trade-off is far better. As long as I can watch my daughter grow, I'm fine of letting of her lasts and welcoming her firsts.

I mean, how many times does a mom think their child will NEVER do things by themselves. Ironically, the ways you get through those tough times now when the kids are young is you have to tell yourself they will not stay that way forever. They will change. Every day is a new experience.

I can see the poem's perspective, but I identify more with your thoughts. I've always had younger kids (and a lot of them), so I haven't bemoaned every last. Frequently, I've cheered by the time the youngest ones have done it.
