It's been a big week in our house. The final report card yielded a round of applause and then it was time to prepare for the 5th grade graduation and the first school dance. It truly feels like it was just yesterday when my little man first walked into Nest+m to begin his kindergarten year. There were lots of tears in those first days. Apprehension and nervousness. But over the years, in addition to learning things like math, science and writing, he also gained confidence and developed an infectious sense of humor. He fell in love with baseball and basketball and made lots of friends. And in the blink of an eye six years have passed and I'm watching my baby walk across the stage and into the next, momentous phase of his life.
And naturally I cried like a baby.
After watching his little sister's end of year performance it was time to rest up and get ready for the big 5th grade dance. He met up with some of his pals for a pre-dance dinner and off they went. By all accounts it was a good time. Maybe not much dancing this year (girls are still slightly icky) but definitely lots of goofing around and laughing til the wee hours (of 9pm). Its been so amazing to watch these kids grow. I've known many of them since Cavan's years at My Little Village. They were 3 then, now they're Tweens! I remember 6th grade well and I couldn't be more excited for the exciting things I know await my little man. I love him so much. My heart swells with pride. Life is a series of adventures. Here we go Cavan Shane!
