Endings
Today is Sam's last day of Kindergarten. He's having mixed feelings about it, as am I. Yesterday he shared with me some feelings of unease. "Everything is ending," he said. "Baseball is over, school is over, I feel like my life is over". It was strange to hear him talk so maturely about these changes, although knowing Sam it probably shouldn't have surprised me - he's never had trouble expressing his feelings. He wasn't at all dramatic about it, just contemplative. We talked about all the things that will begin this summer, now that other things have ended, the best being pool season! He still insisted he wished it was the middle of the school year, not the end. I'll have to remind him of that next year when he grumbles about getting out of bed on a Monday morning!
Congrats to Sam on a great Kindergarten year. Next stop - first grade!
But first...SUMMERTIME!
