Child and Parent Milestone

 Yesterday, Daryl did a thing that had me as nervous as his first day of Kindergarten. He drove himself to High School. I wasn't able to follow him in my car, so he was really on his own. Before I left at 7am I asked him to text me before he left the house, then put his phone away, then immediately text me when he was safely parked at school. 

He followed my three instructions to the letter. He texted me at 7:29am then again at 7:37am. I honestly think I held my breath for those eight minutes. He did it, he also understands the responsibility that comes with this privilege. I am both in disbelief that he is old enough to be driving and so incredibly proud of him. 

I made him text me again today when he got to school. Not as nervous today as yesterday but understand now that I will think of him every day, and hope that he is being smart with his decisions and staying safe. 💞💞💞
