My happy Boy

The Boy

               This is my Boy. He was in Kindergarten in this picture ( 5 years ago ). I remember this day well. He was so excited because one of the first grade teachers took his picture for a display that was going in the hall at school. He came home and told me all about having his picture taken. He talked non-stop about this teacher. Funny how such a small exchange can have such a large impact.  Before the end of the conversation he told me he wanted her for his first grade teacher. Guess what?  He got her. This turned out to be one of my favorite pictures of him. Thanks Mrs. Rawson, for that and SO MUCH MORE!  She was the teacher that suggested we get him tested for the gifted program. I mean, everybody knows their kid is smart, right,  just ask I will tell you all about it. But, to have someone else recognize this in your child is fantastic. We are very proud of you Boy! Keep up the good work. By the way, doesn't he look happy?

Summer, summer, summer

Sounds like a Cars song. Oh, am I showing my age? Oh well. Summer is here! YAY! The Boy is officially a Middle schooler. HELP. I only cry when I'm alone. Just kidding.  Where does the time go? Actually, I am so excited for him. A whole new world will open up for him. He's ready. Me, not so much. Not so ready to move on and let go. I have enjoyed being his mom so much! I know it's not over, he is getting older though.I know he will always need his Mom.  He makes me so proud. At his awards assembly the other day he received the Character award, the third time this year I might add. We went back to school to visit ALL the teachers he has had and get photos with them. They had wonderful things to say to him. They were all so great. They could tell he may be a little unsure about Middle School. They reassured him and told him he will be great there. Priceless. That's the way his teachers have always been. LOVE THEM!  Now it's time for summer fun to begin. I can't wait.
