I was just thinking about how this was going to be her last year at preschool and then she'll have to go to school everyday when she starts kindergarten.

Lots of swings between independence and regression to being my baby. This post hit home in many profound ways in our house.

Will post about that later in the month but when Archer starts kindergarten (it has always been my intention) to privatize his life, or at least most aspects in it. I will still be writing about my experiences as his mother but will very much be keeping his experiences, thoughts and ideas private. <br /><br />And in a way, I think I'm sort of mourning that, too. I love sharing him with the world. I think he's fascinating and riveting and inspiring but I also believe he is his own story and I don't want him to ever feel like I told it for him...<br /><br />I'm going to miss writing about him as I do (which I have tried to phase out in the last year, last few weeks there's been a surge of Archer posts but only because I'm swan-songing) and will miss having a sort of baby book of his every day and moment... But I know it's the right thing to do. I know my kid. I know how he hates all eyes on him and I hope he forgives me for putting him out there as I have done or at the very least, doesn't mind too much. <br /><br />Again, will blog more about that at a later date... xoGIRL'S GONE CHILDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130764109593048451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-52086509074546583122010-08-03T23:39:09.156-07:002010-08-03T23:39:09.156-07:00I was just thinking about the same thing Anon 1032...I was just thinking about the same thing Anon 1032PM asked.

I was curious about something---I was reading some of your old posts from waaay back when Archer was maybe still a toddler, where you wrote about sharing his life in public and how you were going to stop writing about him when he entered kindergarten. Have things changed, or are you still planning on doing that? I think you had written that it was family decision?
