<p>if you think the first 18 years go by fast, I have news for you, the 4 years of college FLIES by. My son was only 17 when he left for school in Aug 07, and he just turned 21 and will graduate in May 11. I can’t believe that 3+ years have gone by. We are also a family of 2. </p>
<p>the real test will be seeing if he gets a job before graduation (he’s already working on that). He wants to live on his own. He has done a great job of taking care of himself.</p>
<p>the weird thing about looking at parents with young children is realizing you are old enough to be their mother/grandmother!!! I’m 49.</p>
<p>Oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?</p>
