So, I'm taking the easy way out for week 10 in my 52 week project. James lost his first tooth today and it seemed like a memory that needed documenting. This little moment in time caused me to reflect on James' first grade year. What is it about first grade that makes it so monumental for children and their parents? Some things just have to happen for every first grader. Things James has learned in first grade: 1. I can read, a huge accomplishment 2. I'm actually pretty good at math. I got that from my dad. 3. I can write stories that make mom and dad laugh out loud and ones that make mom say, "aww." 4. I've learned to ride a bike with 2 wheels. 5. I can swim the length of a pool. 6. I've learned that the big kids will push me around in the hallways and there is nothing I can do about it. Sometimes it makes me cry. 7.Mom will pretty much let me get away with anything in her classroom if I will just be quiet and let her work. 8. Mom doesn't like all of my friends. Some things my friends are allowed to say, I am not allowed to repeat at home or I get in big trouble. 9 I don't like to wear my glasses. I hope I don't need them forever. 10. I will get hurt on the playground, it's part of recess. 11. My mom will support my teacher always. 12. My mom makes me do things over and over until I do it right. I still don't like to do it right the first time.
I can't believe my baby boy is about to finish his first grade year! This is so cliche, but seriously, where does the time go? I'm not ready for him to grow up, not at all. At least he still sits in my lap, wants me to hold him when he's sad and lets me lay with him at night before he goes to sleep. Love you, sweet baby James!
