Abigail (kindergarten) has recently started reading. Her progress has been very rapid and, every day, I am impressed by how quickly she is learning to read. And, I am SO excited for her!
However, these past few weeks, a bit of sadness has invaded my joy. I keep thinking about the fact that Abigail will soon be able to read bigger books on her own.
Before I know it, she is not going to need me to read to her. She will be able to read whatever she wants without any help.
Our times of cuddling on the couch and reading a book together will soon be over.
Sometime in the next few years, she is going to ask me to stop reading bedtime stories to her.
She is growing up and it makes me sad! I suppose that I will have this feeling countless times as a parent. But for now, I am so thankful that I get to watch her learn every day and am trying hard to cherish the moments now because I know they won't last long!
