Writing prompt: When you realized your child was growing up.

Writing Prompts:

1.) A moment your realized your child was growing up.
I think the first time it really hit that he was growing up was when he suddenly announced "Mom i'm tired I think I'm going to go ahead and go to bed."  That was the first time I didn't have to fight him for bed time.  In fact since that time the tantrums at bed time have happened few and far between.  Tonight was a fight just because he was in trouble and couldn't watcha movie.  Other than that every other night he has put himself to bed.  I guess another time was when he announce that he was going to go camping and Grandpa and J.R (the dog) were the ones who were going to take him.  Its been a fixation ever since.  He will go see Grandpa this weekend so we had to let him know that a camping trip would be a grand idea, and that my son even offered up his tent for Grandpa to share.
