I still walk him to school, the only difference is that he makes me give him is backback when he sees other kids in his grade. Its almost like his middle schooler radar goes off. Do I really care, no...I like the fact that he is learning how to become more independent. I have a 7th grader going to 8th in September.

My little one will soon be a preteen and off to junior high. Aside from diligently going through middle school options (and planning 'the big girl' talk) it's quite a process that absolutely moves me to know she's leaving behind the days where she would love her b-day parties with her class and just being a small carefree, fun loving little girl. <br/><br/>What a blessing the sail is and will always be :) OMG…

(We turned down a g&t spot in part because of the class size!)<br/><br/>I see so many people there children to grow up...why? It will be here soon enough.<br/><br/>And for you, yes, bake a batch of cupcakes or two. Leave some out for your son. Middle school or not, most likely he will not turn one down!

And for you, yes, bake a batch of cupcakes or two. Leave some out for your son. Middle school or not, most likely he will not turn one down!

However, they happily celebrate when any of their classmates brings in a treat to share (not nec. for birthdays) so bake away, but then slink back into the cave from which all parents were supposedly spawned. :-) I don’t yet have a middle school aged child and I am treasuring these last couple of years before that time hits!
