Seems the summer has flew by. Here we sit, last weekend before school officially starts late next week. It's been insanely hot, humidity has been out the top. When it's not so hot you feel you'll melt away then it's raining. Very interesting summer.
In a mere 5 days you will be a ..second grader. Gulp. Yes. A second grader. You are the "senior class" of your elementary school and your classroom is upstairs. I'm trying hard to see the new year through your eyes. Excitement, fun, new things, new friends, old friends, class trips and the feeling of being big. I'm proud of your independence and our wings grow with yours. But..I can admit through a Mamma's and Daddy's eyes...it's a bit harder.
I can say we've had a fun, wild summer! We've managed to do something every single weekend of the summer. You've watched two movies in the local theater that you loved. You've had a wonderful belated birthday pool party with all your cousins splashing along with you (really...that permanent smile you wore all day made our day!!). You've had ice cream on the front porch. Played in the creek, played in your pool. We've hit farmer's markets and quirky little places along the way. You've had cousins stay all nights many nights this summer. You've went to cousins houses and played. We've watched the stars. We've hiked trails, had long walks...and even better long talks.
We've had smores and read stories. We've snuggled in bed and watched movies. We've talked to your Uncle and his gfriend (your buddy) who seems so far away when we look on a map...but oh so close in your heart and ours :) We've went to the fair and to festivals. We've played in the rain, splatted in the mud. We've danced to the radio and we've done yoga. We've done one of the most important things...we've been together <3
We've enjoyed every single day of summer. And..we'll enjoy every single day of the school year.
