As you may already know, Harrison turned five in September. Since, he seems to be growing more mature by the day. As my wife put it, it is bittersweet.
The latest installment of where did my little boy go, Harrison now goes into school by himself. I pretty much get him to the property line of Howard and he takes over from there.
It’s like he is big man on campus. Saying hi to friends, commenting on backpacks and pretty much ignoring good ol’ dad.
I follow him around to his door and have to remind him to say bye bye.
He is a big kid now I guess.
I do watch him go in the door and gaze through the glass to make sure he does what he is supposed to. He does of course.
Check one more thing off the list that I am not really needed for.
This new idea of independence was totally his idea. Last week he just asked if he could go in by himself. I did not see any harm.
I get a kick out of how every day he walks around that school without a care in the world. Like he truly loves in and belongs.
I hope for every school he goes to in the future, that never changes.
Now the walks home are full of me having conversations with Charlie, as he thinks to himself, dad chill out, I am two.
