Only 5 days into school...

So, we are what, 5 days into school? I guess Alec is comfortable and likes it there! Grammie and Papa came over with Brooklyn this morning so that I could take Alec to school and get some errands done. It is always so nice taking Alec to school without having to worry about the other two kid-o's. Alec and I chatted and listened to some pirate songs on the way to school. We got out of the car and he held my hand on the way to his classroom. As we walked up to his classroom I leaned down to kiss and hug him, but he walked right past me into the classroom without even looking back! I called after him and he turned around looking at me like, "what?" I guess my little boy is growing up! :(

Now, the question becomes, do I say something to him that it hurt my feelings and that I would like a hug and a kiss from him each morning, or do I accept the fact that he is growing up and let it go? Any opinions my faithful readers?

Tell him you want the kiss and hug!!! I told Jax when you can DRIVE away from me, OK, I will forego the hug and kiss. But when you are little and WALKING AWAY from me, u still owe me a kiss and hug.

They grow up fast enough. Five is too early to ditch the hug and kiss, especially from someone sensitive like Alec. Let's bring back some of the good "old fashioned" standards!!!!!

I second Michelle....If you are driving him places, his payment should be a hug and a kiss. If there is no kiss, there is no ride (that'll work better when he's older though and wants you to take him to a friends house......he doesnt have to do it in front of people but there must be a hug and a kiss haha).

Alec must really be excited about school if he didn't take the time to give you a hug and kiss. If it happens again, a gentle reminder surely is in order.
Have I told you lately how much I love reading your treasured notes?
