For the last day or so, Rachel has been indicating she wants to walk to school alone, or at least that she's looking forward to the day she'll be able to do so. This morning she begged Drew to let her walk at least part of the way solo, and he reluctantly agreed.
He made sure she got through the crosswalk with him (even Rachel was hesitant about doing it herself, since she doesn't quite know how to navigate the patrols, the older kids who help younger kids across the street) and then he let her run up the hill to the entrance of McKinley Elementary all by herself. Tonight at dinner she announced that she'd made it to class just as the bell rang.
And so it begins, her first steps away from us. What happened to my sweet, helpless baby? Where did the time go?
