So earlier this weekend Kellie Poe-Bowdren went to a summer camp. No, it wasn't summer camp like....Camp Wazzapoomantee or anything. Nope, she went to a music camp. 5 days of intensive music instruction---eh, maybe some fun thrown in also.
Its up at venerable Stetson University just outside of Orlando, and I took her to the airport for a flight up there. This was her first official solo flight--just taking her to the terminal and seeing her off.
I was watching the plane taxi up to the gate, and I turned and looked at Kellie, who was waiting eagerly to get onboard to start her little adventure...and I couldn't help but think that things are changing very rapidly in my kids lives. Its as if: there's no turning back.
From this point on, the ball keeps rolling down the hill....and I can't stop it, even if I wanted too. Their growing up so fast.
Andy was due to get his senior yearbook photos taken yesterday, and so the night before we had his version of a life altering event. His Mom wanted him to look his absolute best for the photo op...and so....the electric razor was put away....and in its place came....the manual razor. Oh yeah. Shaving cream, hot water.....the whole nine yards. I kept waiting for him to hit an artery. He managed (somehow) to avoid them.
But he was doing it without fear of knicking himself---because he's never doen that yet.
But oh....give him time....give him time. One day he'll come out from the bathroom with a face covered with toilet paper. And then....he'll be making progress!
Later,
Jeff
