Let's start at the very beginning. Ethan started Kindergarten! And not just started, but LOVES it! And he doesn't just go, he rides the bus. And he doesn't just ride the bus, he walks to the bus stop with all the neighborhood kids. They bound down the street laughing and racing and he never even looks back to wave. Never mind that I stay staring out the window watching until he's out of sight. When did he grow up?!
And when I pick him up, his face is all smiles and his shirt is covered in badges he's earned by passing off the reading levels. He says he's never had his card pulled (that's what happens when kids are naughty) and yesterday at picture day, he said they told him he was awesome with his smile. Picture day. My kid had a school picture day. Oh and get this! He said, "And guess what Mom?! I didn't even chew on my shirt, so it was perfect for the picture!" Now there's a proud mommy moment! ;)
Yes, I'm feeling happy and a little proud, you could say. This is what I wanted for him. To love school. To feel happy. And to be the good kid I know he can be. Here's to it lasting!!!

Thanks so much for linking up. So happy for you
Way to go Buddy! I am proud of you too!
seriously, when did he grow up?! wow.
Great and wonderful news.
We're proud of Ethan. I think I'm going to go and chew on my shirt.
Ryan went through that shirt chewing thing too. Now if he would just stop stretching it over himself and things. They grow sooo fast!
