Milestones
Kids grow up too fast. I have written about this before. Today provided further evidence that time is fleeting and our children are not children for long enough.
You see, number one princess stayed home alone for the first time today. Not all day mind you but long enough for it to be significant.
There are so many wonderful aspects to watching your children grow but sometimes I think it would be nice to keep them this age forever.
I did find it interesting how aware she was about the potential dangers of a young person being home alone. When I was her age I would not have given these things a second thought. There were the obvious things like no cooking or using sharp knives but she was more tuned in to not answering the phone or the door. I suppose with so many stories on the news these days involving children being abducted or worse this is a natural reaction for her. What a sad world we live in (I know, it’s not all sad but there is some sad stuff)
