It’s that time of year again, it’s time to wrap up school. Tucker has begun the wrap up process, and came home with a progress report the other day. I laughed and laughed until I cried when I read some of the things that were written down that he had said, including:
ZOO ANIMALS: Snake, lizards and buffalos (those are the animals I go to see at the zoo…buffalo?)
FARM ANIMALS: Worm, duck, cow ( I love that the first thing he lists is a worm)
DAD’S NAME: TOF
I guess it can be said at this house, we don’t think inside the box! After laughing so hard I cried, I then began to really cry when I read this sweet note from his teacher…
Why? although it was sweet words, it was also the realization that my first child is growing up and growing up well. I am proud of the person he is now, and the person he is developing to be. I love him deeply, and I love being his mother….
I am grateful for a teacher who remind me of my love and respect for my children as they grow up out of my sight in her classroom.
