I am starting this blog to capture this final year of active, full-time parenting by chronicling the senior year of the youngest (second) child. I know from the first go-round with the older child that senior year, applying to college, graduation, and the college send-off are fraught with emotion, and require intensive hands-on parenting to successfully navigate. It was literally the most stressful parenting year since toddler-hood.
I was originally going to do "Year of Lasts" on my Facebook page, but that venue has become increasingly unsatisfying and I am trying to reduce my presence there. Instead, I will try to use this blog to force myself to SLOW DOWN and enjoy this process and my kids, and maybe at the same time offer advice to other parents going through the same thing now or in the future. (Ha, ha if anyone reads this).
