Today I learned that my once 8 pound baby now weighs 60 pounds and that he did, in fact, not miss his six month shot as I was told by the crabby receptionist on the phone. He can snap his fingers and almost tie his own shoes. I also learned that he has no problem going off with a group of strangers, looking back only once to wave goodbye.
In a way it was so surreal. There was a time when I had my first day of grade two as a brand new student at this very same school. Also a time when my sister started this school, in the exact same classroom.
and even though he seemed pretty apprehensive about it all for a moment...
his good friend helped him through and he made it to that line-up of children.
Where he proceeded to tell everybody all about his Monkey friend, what he had for snack and pulled out everything in his spaceman knapsack in front of a group of chuckling parents and teachers.
When he was completely out of sight, I walked into the office to ask for a copy of the paperwork that I had once received, now lost in the abyss of paperwork in my office somewhere. I only assume it got thrown away or became some work of art.
...just another step in growing up.

Hello..this is my blog. I bought this fancy theme and I don't know what to write here just yet. Maybe one day remind me I have to write something inspiring here?
What adorable photos! I hope his first day went well!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't feel too bad...I lost our paperwork too. Oops!
Even at the age my kids are, I often think I'm more nervous than they are.
