Last Day of School

*Why yes I was late getting a look at May's pictures and "might" be pre-loading posts for while I'm away.  Hope you're enjoying the slight time warp*

Here he is, victorious and happy on the last day of school (May 27th).  Unlike the first day, he was more than willing to do a photo shoot! (Hooray!-- I tried to be cool about it though).

He even happened to have on his school t-shirt and happened to be completely adorable.

Winsome, yes?  So much bigger and wiser than nine months before.

He is so much more confident and so much more my helper

This was then....

So reluctant, younger and yet very brave.

I love this boy and am so proud of all the learning, maturing, and growing he has done at school this year.  Hugs to you my big boy and on to Pre-K!

(Technically, there is a slight interlude of summer in the middle.  He has six different weeks of camp over the summer to reduce the time playing video games -- four weeks of MDO camp and two at the zoo.  So far, it seems to be working.  It is a nice mix of time home with me and time out adventuring).
