Growing up

I swear my son has grown another two inches overnight, I put some trousers on him this morning and they are like ankle swingers, I am positively certain that they fitted him perfectly a couple of days ago. Well I guess its to be expected, kids do grow up at some stage, sometimes I do think too quickly (and that is generically speaking), my kid will be starting school for the first time this year, and its quite impossible to believe that time has come for him to experience the start of many things when he does start, I remember my very first day at school and it wasn't a pleasant experience, I did not want to leave my mother was all I could think about, no ideas why really that I can recall, I was being asked to do was just leave her and follow the teacher, and it frightened me that I was being left somewhere that was completely alien to me and I wouldn't see her again, things you remember I guess...it didn't help that I was an extremely shy child, (being an only child, my only company was my mother up until I started first school), my own kid on the other hand is the complete opposite in every way, which is a good thing. His imagination is just amazing and he takes everything in, always going at a hundred miles an hour and never, ever stops questioning, talking, and just generally being a typical child, and I get to learn something new about him every day.
