My very first blog was about D-boy's first day of school so I thought it would be appropriate to document his last day. Surprise number one, I CRIED. I was not anticipating this at all. We went to his class for afternoon "tea & cookies", he shared his memory book with us. This listed all of the things he did throughout the year. One page had a short letter from the teacher, while I was reading it is when the tears started. As soon as I finished D-boy reminded me that every kid in the class got the same letter. Way to ruin the moment.. Next surprise he was devastated that he did not receive a year book. Since when do kindergartens or elementary schools in general have yearbooks?? Unfortunately this was a decision the pilot and I had made at the beginning of the year, purchasing a year book sounded ridiculous so I did not pay for one. Fast forward to picking up D-boy the last day of school and watching him cry so hard that I felt like the worst mom ever. Luckily they were still available for purchase at the main office for the low, low price of $15. Yes we did buy one and also lucky for us another mom had an ice cream get together afterwards so he could have some of the kids in his class sign it. Of course at 5 & 6 years old, they literally just sign their name in the year book. The last surprise was how quickly this school year had gone.
Now for summer, swim lessons, guitar lessons, bike riding, vacation bible school, and I'm sure before I know it D-boy will be starting 1st grade. Enjoy your summer!!
