Growing pains

You may have to indulge me a bit over the next few weeks.. Or longer.

Tonight my son Ayden began to swim on his own, without fear, at the tender age of 5.. he had his floaties, but still realized the proper way to move his arms and legs. He was confident and sure of himself.. 
It was a growing moment.

Next week will be the same. He begins kindergarten. 
Unfortunately I cannot bring myself to realize that truly, just yet. The idea has not reached fruition in my mind.

Kindergarten..
My God..
Five years .. all gone.

The emotions are going to run high.
And there will be lows..
Growing pains. For children. And parents all the same.
