Too much fun?

Lol, it is a mother's dilemma.  My daughter is growing up and finally acting like a "normal" teenager.  She is gaining friends and getting brave enough to stay overnight away from home, finally at 15.  She is doing so well, even as I have said, singing in public.  She is becoming quite the young lady.  It is great, and another stage in which I am proud to see her develop and get excited at the changes in her own life.

However, it still makes Mama sad because my baby is no longer a baby.  She and I are still close, but she has a boyfriend and is branching out to do things away from the family now.  So, the good thing is also painful for me.

Any other moms feeling this way?  I'm coping fine, just curious.

I felt that way about my three year going out for the day for the first time without me - it was the first time he'd even been away from home when I wasn't at work. He was so excited he even forgot to kiss me goodbye. lol, no quite the same thing, but I know the feeling you're talking about.
