The End

It was an end to his littleness (although he is gigantic), an end to half days, an end to thinking of him as young, it was the end of Kindergarten.
I am struggling to believe my boy is now going to enter 1st grade.  It seems so big to me, so old.  He learned so much this year that it's amazing that there is even more to learn in the years to come.  He reads so well, wanting to read more and more.  He wants to read books in the car because he wants to prepare for more reading in 1st grade.  He adds things like crazy and copies what coupons and ads say just to practice writing. 
I am so proud of how well Hayden has done in Kindergarten.  All E's on his report card for the last quarter.  His teacher really enjoyed him in class and his classmates seemed to really like him as he got "Hi Hayden's" from everyone when I was around him at school.

So, in July, we will start all day school, 1st grade.  You could pretty much bet Mom will be tearing up, again, at the bus stop.
