Kyle and his Primary friends at 5th grade graduation (minus one more girl from Kyle's class)Thursday was 5th Grade Graduation at school. As Greg and I were walking up to the school, I asked, "AM I OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A KID LEAVING GRADE SCHOOL?" I'm in shock. I still feel young, but my "baby boy" is going to be in JUNIOR HIGH next year!! Junior High!!! When did he grow up? When did I grow up?
Then, to make matters worse, the former principal announces that we only have 7 more years of school with these these kiddos. My first thought was I only have 7 years to make up for the 11 that I fumbled through with lots of faults and flaws. But, in actuality, a mother is always a mother no matter how old her children get. I still call my mom for advice or encouragement. I hope my kids will do the same.
We're so proud of you Kyle. Three grade schools in three different cities and two states. And you were such a good sport about it each time. Keep up the hard work and enjoy Junior High next year....just leave me a box of tissues when you leave for school the first day!

Time flies....I feel the same way & my oldest is only 9. These events, like graduation always remind me to cherish every minute because it will gone before we know it.
Yeah, I feel like I've fumbled my way through the first 12 years of Motherhood as well. And I can't believe Kyle and Kayla are old enough for Jr. High (it's middle school here)!!!
These kids are growing up too fast!
I know what you mean! I was so shocked when she said 7 more years! What a rude awakening! Thankfully it wasn't high school graduation. Although, I'm sure that'll be here before we know it too!!!!
Kyle is growing up. Crazy- I still remember him as a toddler that we would take to McD and he staked his claim on our guest room! Oh well, time goes on. Tell him congrats and have a great summer. Thanks for giving me your blog!
