Well, Nicholas' first year of school has officially come to a close. As I look back over the last nine months and note exactly how much our boy has grown and changed throughout this experience, I can't help but feel enormously proud. We went from this baby:
To this happy-go-lucky little boy:
Okay, okay. I realize that the difference might not be all that grand to the naked eye, but to me it's beyond description. He went through so many changes this year. From a long and difficult period of adjustment to his new routine, to finally adapting to school and flourishing in such an amazing way. He has made so many friends and loves to talk about all the fun things he's gotten to do in class. And he's bonded with the teachers and staff at St. Mark, which is such a comfort to Greg and I. And the biggest accomplishment of all - he's now potty trained!! Today, I see a very sweet, intelligent, thriving little boy who's just getting started in this great, big, wonderful world. So yes, I'm enormously proud.
Nicholas' teacher, Miss Stephanie. They're great pals and he loves her a whole, big bunch.
And lucky for us, he gets to go back for summer school in a few weeks. So all those wonderful things he's gotten to do won't be stopping and all those wonderful people who have molded his little life won't be forgotten. So stick around 'cause we're gonna keep right on truckin'!
Oh and don't forget, we've got a very important 3rd birthday coming up! Party invitations will be hitting the mail very soon....
Yay for Nicholas! What a big boy! Looking forward to our adventures in a galaxy far, far away... ;)
