Just when I was thinking this year was over in a blink of an eye, I saw this picture…
and compared it to the picture I took this morning on their last day of school.
If I look past the fact that Evan is wearing the same exact shirt and pants, I realize that they’ve changed a lot. They are way bigger and look a little less like kiddos and more like big people in little bodies. That blink of an eye really wasn’t just a blink. It’s actually been more like 9 months, 9 months of say 30-31 days each some of which went very s l o w l y now that I think about it. So, yeah, I guess it’s no surprise that they’ve changed as much as they have after all. And, that gives me some hope really because I’ve got 3 months basically now before we enter the new world of middle school which gives me heart palpitations. But, if they all changed this much in 9 months, there’s hope that we may actually see signs of readiness for middle school (if that’s even something possibly attainable) over the next 3 months.
But, that doesn’t mean he won’t be wearing the robot shirt and cargo shorts on the first day.
