and I felt nothing

Today was the older 2's last swimming class for this session. Isaac is still a Salamander, and Norah passed out of Sea Turtle....into Salamander. So if we sign them up for the next round, they can be in the same class. But Salamander isn't parent participation, and I'm not sure Norah is ready for that step yet. We may put off Saturday swimming lessons until the Fall.

Also, Isaac's soccer season will be starting up soon-ish (or so the rumor goes), and his games will be Saturday mornings. Which would overlap swimming lessons. :/ This may take some juggling.

While we were at the pool, I was chatting with a couple of the other parents. We are all going to have our kids in immersion next fall, and most of the kids are going into soccer. I so hope that Isaac is on the same team as Drew, Nick and Carson, it would be great for him to start off K in the fall with some buddies. Carson's mom was there with her tiny, newborn baby girl. Baby Margo is so cute, so tiny and so precious. And I felt nothing. You know, when you see a little tiny baby and you feel that 'baby crush'? The feeling like you want that for yourself? Yep, didn't have that. At all. She's tiny and precious and beautiful. And not mine. And that's good. I really feel like I'm moving out of my mothering little babies phase.

Now I just need to remember some of the parts of me that I forgot or pushed aside to go through this phase of mothering tiny ones.

I felt that today, too. (Though last week. . . a different story.)

Btw, I've been missing you. . .
