A Last Frist

Something I never thought about until yesterday sitting on a big scary bus with my littlest "baby" Lillian heading to her first field trip... this was a "last first" for me with my kiddos. YIKES! Reality kinda sorta hut hard. Each first we have with Lillian is a last first we will have with our kiddos, until grandkiddos that is.

As we sat on the big scary bus Lillian was in her own world. This is what she has looked forward to since her oldest sister Madison stepped foot onto a bus for school two plus years ago for Kindergarten. All of a sudden she was on a real bus for her school trip and NOT in a car seat gazing out the window in awe! Mommy's heart melted. I saw my "Baby Lillian" disappear before my eyes and my "Lillian the Independent" became ever present.

The field trip was a wonderful time. I think what makes these times so great are all the friends we make along the way. Lillian has her friend Divya and what makes it even better, her mom Monica and I are great "Partners in Crime" and have TOO much fun even when the girls are in school.

Even though each first with Lillian is a last first to be had it makes them that much sweeter. I reminisce about the times we went through them with the other two and now with our littlest. Just because it is a last first doesn't make it bitter, it makes it savory!
