Here they are - my third and sixth grader! I did not give them permission to keep getting older and bigger, but they did it just the same. Winn immediately LOVED her new teacher, Mrs. Simpson. Grade 3 is going to be awesome!
I really had a hard time dropping this midget off at MIDDLE SCHOOL! I had to make a quick run into the school with her on the second day to move her from beginning to all-star, amazing orchestra (since that's what kind of a violin player she is) and was met with a hallway filled with profanity, a large pack of 6-foot-tall boys blocking the lockers, and a girl showing her friend pictures of her boyfriend in the navy. I did all I could to hide my disgust, fear and the mommy emotion that was quickly making it's way to the surface, but I only made it as far as the front door before I started to bawl. It's a good thing Junie is one tough cookie and can handle the cesspool we call middle school. I remind myself every day that she picks good friends, she's responsible, and she continually makes good choices - like staying far away from those navy boys!
I take consolation in the fact that I've still got one more year with this dude all to myself. Just three golfing buddies out enjoying the last few rays of summer sunshine!
