What's next? On Wednesday The Boy officially moved up and out of elementary school. Come fall we will be collectively entering the world of middle school and all that implies. He's beside himself with anticipation and joy. Each year that passes he is a little more comfortable in his own skin and this year was no exception. I credit his teachers in large part for his growth. The end of the year ceremony was touching and really highlighted why we love their school so much. His teachers were the perfect balance for him...tough, compassionate, encouraging. I think he really felt like he could trust them with his ideas. When it came to class projects, he really gave it his all and I think he felt like his ideas were met with appreciation and acknowledgment of the their worth. That being said...I think he also really had FUN. His teachers were hilarious, witty and undeniably hip. Thanks for the memories, 5th Grade...it's been real. Now? Summer!
