Teenagers

Today my kids thought it would be fun to pretend to be teenagers. Sporting their new ipod shuffles, E went upstairs to get a zip-up hooded sweatshirt and Em decided that she had to wear her high heels. The kids who emerged from their rooms and came down the stairs were too grown up for me. E could have been any teenage boy with his hoodie pulled over his head and music playing in his ears. Em, in all her cuteness and sass, strutted down the stairs. Flashing forward 10 years from now is a bit scary. E will be driving and a junior in high school. Em, my baby, will be the same age as the students I teach. I'm not ready for this. Good thing I have 10 years to prepare.
