For me, this has been the most exciting time...the time when I begin to catch a glimpse of the person my child is becoming. And when, overall, you like what you're seeing, this can be pretty validating. As for the challenges that come with this phase, I suggest maintaining a healthy sense of humor... Happy Birthday to Noah, and congratulations to you on reaching another milestone. Try not to take to heart the negative things people say about teenagers.

I blame you for the fact that I'm going to walk into my meeting year-streaked. But yes, yes, yes. I feel like I'm halfway to this transition and like you I find myself truly shocked despite also knowing it was inevitable. The strange elasticity of time - and its essential forward motion - takes me by surprise yet again. Thank you for this gorgeous piece. xoxo Oh, my.

I'm still in the trenches with three little ones, but already I'm starting to feel that subtle shift from physical priorities to emotional ones with my oldest - and your piece today stops me short as it makes me think about the ways that this parenting gig might just keep getting harder and harder. I love that picture of you and Noah; it really captures him in the exact moment your words describe. Wow, Emily, this really hits home with me.
