My apologies if this image is slightly grainy; it was taken last night at my son’s school as, I was dropping him off for the first night of their school concert. This year, he is an underwater rock or stone in the show (he isn’t dressed yet in this picture). The reason I am posting this photo though, has nothing to do with the concert and everything to do with a defining moment which happened as I was walking him toward the drop-off area last night... He dropped my hand (which I always hold). Naturally, I thought it was accidental but, as I went for his hand a second time, he quickly moved it away and softly, but firmly said, “Mommy!” I was later told, he did not want his friends making fun of him. Wow. At six though? I was so not prepared... My baby is growing up too fast! [insert sobbing here]
