Proud Momma (keep on rolling)

Taylor finished Kindergarten this week. WHAT? FINISHED? You might be thinking, didn't he just start last week? At least that is what I am thinking. This year FLEW by. And now my big guy is going to be in first grade. He's going to eat lunch at school. He is going to have art, music and gym at school. Everyday for 180 days a year for the next 12 years; maybe I won't put it to him that way-might kill the enthusiasm! :) Taylor got an Academic Excellence award for being a smarty pants and his teacher also created special awards to fit each child so he also got an Awesome Artist award for doing such detailed and creative pictures in his journal. His teacher was EXCELLENT this year and I am so thankful for that. She even came to his baseball game this past weekend, which was really special for Taylor. Taylor is now a READER and even reads the bedtime books sometimes if he can. He read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" the other day to me. It took a while to get through, but he is determined and if you tell him the word while he is still figuring it out he gets M-A-D. First grade, here we come! (sigh)
