Forms, forms, forms

I took Thomas and Tyler to the vacation bible school offered by the church down the street from our house. There were two registration forms to fill out, one for each of them. As I started the one for Tyler, Thomas asked that he fill out the one for himself. Knowing what he knows and what he could write, I was not surprised at the request, but a feeling bordering surreality washed over me at that moment: my son, the six-year-old little man was about to embark on the most significant and mundane adult activity for the first time: filling out forms. I was very excited. He took over the writing board with the very first form that I know of (not sure he fill out any in school) that he was going to fill out himself. He actually used cursive!! (Photo will follow) Filling out forms accompanied all significant events of my life, big and small. Very quietly, I witnessed another milestone of my son's growing up.
