My Oldest also finished his 1st year of Middle school! He will be in 7th grade next year and he has matured so much in the last year. He isn't a little boy anymore. It hit me that he was growing up and saddened me a little bit that my Husband and I had to sit down with him last night and discuss the importance of grades in the years to come and the difference between his younger years and his permanent record. We had to decide last night if he was mature enough to take Algebra I next year as a 7th grader...Algebra I is a permanent record class. He has the brains for it...math and science are easy for him...it's just that he makes bad decisions sometimes. If he starts having problems in class, he doesn't bring it to anyone's attention so we can help him...7th grade will be scary for him and me, since I will have to ween him off his dependence of me in solving his problems. :-(

His school celebrates the end of their year by sending them to the city pool. He had a great time at the pool today...temperatures were perfect for the pool at 90 degrees F...and he came home sunburned!
