In the past six months, I've taught a total of four child development and two lifespan development classes. We talk quite a bit about milestones. It's probably a good thing my poor kiddos don't know how many times they come to class with me! But because they do, I've thought quite a bit about the last 16 years I've been a parent.
For the most part, my kids have made it through their milestones better than their mama did! They ran to each new development with excitement and smiles while I was dragging my heels with sniffles and tears. That wasn't quite the case last night! My oldest two shared another milestone together: their first high school game as a participant.
Okay, so it's not a typical, textbook milestone, but what an exciting event to share!
August 31, 2012--Yokota High School, Japan. I watched my son make some fantastic tackles, score another TD, and call plays as quarterback! I watched my daughter cheer on the sidelines and perform at halftime as a Varsity cheerleader for the very first time!
This was a milestone for me too! I still had my camera and still took hundreds(!) of pictures but instead of sniffles and tears, it was my turn for smiles and cheers! Great job, Kaleigh and NZ!! I am proud of you both!
