First day of school

I sent my baby off to third grade today in a new school.  When did he get so old?  When did I get so old?

Before he left the house he asked how he looked.  ""Fabulous, as always."" was my reply.  He does a self-check and says, ""Yeah.  I really think these shoes are stylin'."" 

I offered to walk him to his classroom.  He told me, ""No, thanks.  I'm nine.  I got it.""  I wanted to walk him inside, but just said, ""ok, honey"" and got in the drop off lane with the rest of the cool kids' moms.
