My Big Boy

Yesterday was my son's last day of kindergarten! We survived a full year of school!!! Now I can say that this is a big feat I am so proud of. When my son went into school he could say the alphabet, could count to 20 of course skipping 16 (no clue why) could spell, not write, his name, mom and dad. The teacher said he was ahead of the game. Proud mommy moment! We found out on his first parent teacher conference that his teacher believed he was slightly color blinded when it came to blues and greens. The teacher also told us that he was a very caring, loving little boy, that he stood up stood up for the little guys and that he had a best friend that he couldn't do anything with out!

As the year came to an end I am so happy to hear him  read to his daddy instead of his daddy reading to him during his bed time book. He can now count to an endless amount, write most words, and sound out everything! He has also been a student of the month twice! To top off being proud of our little guy he only missed 3 days through out the entire year.

Now for the realization of the fact that I have a 1st grader on my hands. That I have successfully gotten my child through the first year to the rest of his school life. That us as parents have started a new chapter that is not stopping no matter how many times I look at him and see my little chubby baby boy. The little boy that I once prayed would just fall asleep and stop screaming. I miss those moments now. I miss the first time he said mama and the first time he said dada. I look at that little boy and can't believe that it's been almost 6 years since I gave birth to my first child.

Today I have a 1st grader and a 6 month old little girl. Today I have a little guy in his first summer break and a little girl learning to sit up, roll over and say mama. Today I have a husband who's been an amazing father, husband and friend to my self and the children. Today I open my eyes to what I have been blessed with and see that we as parents have survived our first year of school!
