I have a 2nd Grader???

How is it even possible that my oldest kid is now a second grader? It seems like yesterday that I wrote a note to my friend, Danielle, at work and said "It's positive"... she was clueless of what that meant! LOL... then when it hit her... OMG... she was SO excited! Now, almost 7 years later, I am looking at my little man in awe that he has just finished the 1st grade!

August 2011

May 2012

He makes me proud every day. Last night he got out of bed and said, "Mommy, I can't sleep because I'm laying in bed thinking about what if I was a bad kid instead of a good kid?"

I assured him that he is NOT the bad kid...he is always the good kid and he'll always be the kid that will help his "bad" friends make the good choices! I assured him that he's a good boy and he has nothing to worry about! I love that he worries about "what if" he's bad! I LOVE that he so desperately WANTS to be good! I LOVE that kid!

So, here you can see Xander's before and after... his 1st and last day of the First Grade! Isn't it amazing how much a kid can change from August to May??
