"They Grow Up So Fast"
Aug. 2nd, 2021 04:09 pm So it begins....
Today my wife and I went to the bank to set up an account to pay for Mason's college.
It's hard to believe we're here already. I remember once, years ago, when Mason was still in a stroller. I was getting really, really sick of strangers saying to me, "Cherish these days! They grow up so fast!" At the time, I remember smiling and nodding, but thinking "OMG, COULD THEY??" because it takes months before infants learn to SMILE. I found all the work with no smiles to be a lot. I mean, I knew it was worth it? But, I was really, really looking forward to now. When the little bundle would actually be interesting.
It seems as soon as they are completely interesting, it's time for them to head off into the world.
We'll be taking him to Connecticut at the end of this month. Shawn still hasn't determined the exact day we'll be leaving, because... I don't think she quite wants to deal with it? Even though she's just as excited to see him off as I am. I mean, we'll miss him, but this is such a great time in a person's life.
Anyway, that's what's been on my mind today.
You?
