Tomorrow my YOUNGEST child will turn twelve! Officially gone are the days of car seats, double strollers, Happy Meals (although those didn’t occur often), elementary school, and Cub Scouts. I went through a (rather long but now over) phase period when the boys were smaller that I longed for another baby. That feeling has passed. Mike and I have both decided that if we have another child (which would be by adoption because I can’t have any more children) we will adopt an older child (6+).
When I wonder what it will be like to be child free in a few years, when I start to get tearful just thinking about my boys starting high school (let alone graduating and going off to college) I just remember that as they age the less I will need of my mini-van and the more I will be able to drive this around:
And that, my friends, is a finer thing!
