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."
