Around 18 months:
On the day of her third birthday party:
This was the birthday we talked about in the abstract for the last 18 years....it went like this "I want her to turn 19, and then leave for college two weeks later." And then I would explain that I didn't want Anna to graduate as an 17 year old from high school, and that the extra year would be good for her , and give her the advantage of maturity (I learned from listening to stories from what it was like for Chris to be the youngest in his class.) Well, now she has turned 19, and she is leaving for college in 2 weeks. So, it has happened, it is done. And she is great, but it makes me remember all those years when her 19th birthday was the penultimate goal.....the last achievement before she was ready to go to college. And, now that day is here.
We are heading down the beach for a few days...all part of Anna Fest!!
