Me: "Princess. Wednesday is your last day of High School! Are you excited?"
Princess: "Ummm. Not really."
The next day...
Hubby: "You're getting ready to graduate from High School! Are you excited?"
Princess: "Ummm. Not really."
Sunday...
Several church friends: "Hey! You're graduating from High School! Are you excited?"
Princess: "Ummm. Not really."
Yesterday...
Me (via text message): "happy last day of high school! i'm proud of you! love ya bunches & bunches!!!"
Princess (via text reply): "Aww love you too. I am skipping 8th to spend my last few moments with my best friends." --- I guess that doesn't count against you on the last day.
Last Night...
Me: "Princess. Today was your last day of High School! Are you excited?"
Princess: "Ummm. Not really."
What is wrong with my daughter? Everything is changing for her and she's so nonchalant about it all. I think I was jumping up and down when I graduated (Mom - tell me if I'm wrong).
I'm not nonchalant about it at all. I still keep seeing the pre-school, kindergarden graduation, and all of those 'first day of school' moments through the years.
They don't say little forever.
They continually grow...
and exasperate...
and make you proud...
and make you cry...
and make you laugh.
I can't believe time has flown by so fast. In a couple of months we will be driving Princess to college and helping her move into her dorm room. Everything will change for her and everything will change for us.
I'm not sure I'm ready. I just know I can't stop it.
Congratulations Princess!!!
