I’m a little late posting this, but it’s important to me to document things such as this.\u00a0 Preston completed first grade about a week and a half ago.\u00a0 Here are a few pics from the last week of school.<\/p>\n

Last Day of School<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preston asked me to eat lunch with him on the last day of school.\u00a0 I was excited to, and went from working out<\/em> to his classroom, thinking I was having lunch with my baby…no big deal.\u00a0 I didn’t realize that they were doing a little end of the year party with pizza, cookie cake, ice cream floats, and awards.\u00a0 There were several parents there, and I was a little embarrassed but glad I was there to celebrate the last day of school with my big bug!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The awards…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Please allow this mother to brag for just a moment.\u00a0 I was so proud of my baby that I was a little teary.\u00a0 There were 5 kids in the class that received a “Citizenship Award” meaning that they never had their star moved all year long.\u00a0 They had “perfect” behavior (I use the word perfect very <\/em>loosely).\u00a0 My baby was one of the five that received the Citizenship Award.\u00a0 I was so proud of him!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The other 4 kids that received the award were 4 of his best friends.\u00a0 It makes me so happy that he’s choosing friends that also make good decisions.\u00a0 I have prayed this for each of my kids since the moment I found out I was pregnant.\u00a0 I want them to choose friends that will make them better kids.\u00a0 I want them to choose friends that make good decisions.\u00a0 Of course I want them to be friends everyone, but I want their closest friends to be good examples…iron sharpens iron.\u00a0 I am so proud of my big bug!<\/p>\n

The funny thing is that this child comes home and acts like a total maniac<\/strong>.\u00a0 I know he uses up all his “quietness and stillness” at school and he has to get all his wiggles out the second he steps foot in the car.\u00a0 I would rather him be good at school and wild at home, though.<\/p>\n

I did however find out one way he was able to stay so quiet when I opened his pencil box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That little maniac!\u00a0 I guess there’s no real harm in sharpening a few pencils, right?<\/p>\n

Time is passing so quickly.\u00a0 Here’s a pic of the first day of school…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And here’s one of the last day of school.\u00a0 I can’t believe my baby boy is this big!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>School’s out for summer!\u00a0 And what a better way to start the summer than with a ton of sugar and food coloring!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Happy Summer!\u00a0 I think I’m going to keep him in first grade forever.\u00a0 I’m not allowing second grade in this house!\u00a0 My babies are NOT allowed to grow up this fast!<\/p>\n
