This morning as I was walking Ashton to his preschool classroom, he stopped me in the hall and wanted a kiss. I told him to wait until I could put down his naptime blanket, jacket, etc. and we kept walking. He grabbed my arm right before we opened the door and asked if I could go ahead and kiss him goodbye now. I said, "Do you want Mommy to kiss you before we go into the room so your friends won't see?" He said, "Yes, Mother, I'm a big boy now." I obliged but my heart broke because at that moment I knew he was growing up.
