And Now For The Sappy Birthday Post

The other day

I was talking to one of you classmates mom

who has a daughter in middles school

She talked of how she feels so un-involved in the middle school

Rarely eating with your child in the cafeteria

Small amount of communication with the teacher

Basically not much assistance is needed at all from us Parents

This made me sad.

I know it's coming.

You're

NINE

now for heavens sake.

So as I walked into your class to eat your birthday lunch with you

and deliver cookies to the class

I thought of how lucky I am to be able to do this.

To come into your school freely and see if your teacher needs help

To bring special things in on special days

To be involved with the school as a whole

And, in turn, be involved with your life, your friends, your work.

I shudder to think of the day you won't need or want me as much anymore.

I know it's a part of growing and spreading your wings

BUT

As for now, you need me!

More importantly, you want me there!

So I'm there.

You are maturing so fast!

And observing surroundings even faster.

You're kind to others

Make friends easily

Love music, video games, candy and soccer.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Lightning Thief and Silly Bandz.

You read your FIRST long chapter book with NO pictures this year!!
(The Lightning Thief)

While in your class your teacher had all the kids say something nice about you if they wished

What your friend Joseph said

Made My Heart MELT

"Logan, I like you because you're a really good friend and

whenever I'm sad you help me put on my happy face."
