Tuesday was Parker's last day of Kindergarten. As bad as it sounds the first day of Kindergarten was not hard for me....I was happy to ship him off for the day. But after this year.....first grade might be harder for me. I can't believe how much he has grown up. He just does not seem like a 6 year old. He is very smart and quick witted and wise beyond his years....it is hard for us to remember that he is indeed, only 6. This year was good for him. He enjoyed getting to know others and often came home with questions that I would rather have avoided.....A part of me wants to protect him from everything and everyone, all the time. I want him to go out into the world in a little bubble where nothing bad can enter in. But, sadly that is not the case. He has learned how to make good choices and ways to avoid bad ones....and how he can make better ones in the future. I think being in school this year has made him realize how lucky he is and how good he has it.
I have been fortunate to visit Parker's classroom on a regular basis....before I had Lexie) and attend all of his field trips and even have lunch with Parker. We were able to attend family dances and fun night....and I have enjoyed getting to know his classmates and teacher.
I am excited to have him to myself this summer....we have lots of activities planned. And look forward to second grade....at a new school.
