Thing One: his last day of elementary school
Thing One: Middle School Bound 6.18.09
Who would ever have guessed that: Martha without the right words? Hey, it happens...
In July 2002, I sent my baby off to The Big School.
So much excitement and anticipation "back then"
I wondered, I worried: would he catch up, would he fit in, would he make friends, would he...
And while so many of these worries are no longer there...I find myself finding new set of worries. But you know what is different this time? I'm also filled with a lot more excitement and anticipation to see how he conquers the new challenges that he will face.
For one thing I now realize about my first born child: he's capable of things I never imagined possible! He's got a style all of his own...and that alone will take him far! He may not take the path all the other kids take...but in the end? He'll be right there with all the others.
And for those of us raising quirky kids? It really doesn't get much better than that!

such sweet kindie pics!
he'll do great next year! (although, I'm real glad that DCSD doesn't start middle school until 6th!)
He is SO stinkin' cute as a kindergartner! (And so handsome as a grown up middle schooler!) The end of elementary is a big deal. I'm sure he'll find his place in middle school. I know I was pretty anxious about Jane last year, but she handled it all in stride. I'm sure he'll do the same!
Congrats to Thing One! Hang in there Martha.
First picture of the end of elementary - I can't believe how much he looks like Dom!
