Going to the Top of the Forest

...wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.

Today the not so little boy, sans bear, checked in to the Freshman Class of 2010 at West Ranch High School. I know this would be an "Oh Mom" moment to him because somehow there is moisture in my eyes as I think of him going off to public high school. I'm confidant this is the right place for him to be but I can't help but be a bit emotional as he embarks on this new season. High School is a big step anyway, but he's been homeschooled since 3rd grade so it will really be a new experience for him. I know he's ready.
