Cutting the apron strings..........

You sat buckled in the back seat of grandmas car with a big smile on your face while you waved and yelled by mom to me. This is how you reacted the first time I let you go anywhere without me. Yes I have left you at home with grandma before but she has never taken you anywhere on her own. I was scared to say the least. Yes I guess you can probably say that I am overly protective of you but really I am not. The occasion has just never came up where somebody wanted to take you somewhere without me going along too. Grandma took you and tatiana to the park and the baseball field. She said that you guys were excellent and had a great time running around playing. I was nervous as hell the whole time you were gone. I guess now that you are three years and five months old you can venture out into the big world without your momma as your papa keith puts it "I am gonna have to cut the apron strings at some point" I guess today was good as day as any.
