This guy...







is growing up so fast. Of course I mean the little one but I also mean the older guy. Leiton has started summer school this week. I was very nervous as to how he would react to school especially since he was the only one in our family going. School starts at 8AM every day and lets out at 11:30AM. Now, as you may have read before we have had a very lax summer. Leiton has been known to sleep until 10AM this summer even though he is always in bed before 10PM. Getting him up Monday was actually ok. He didn't say a word. Just slowly got out of bed, dressed and followed me to the van. He didn't speak in the car nor once we got there. Poor kid was so nervous I think he was scared what would happen. No tears were shed. He did good and as I left him I realized as hard as it is for me I have to let this guy become a grown up! After school I was so glad when he ran to me and hugged me with a huge smile on his face. He liked it!! The second day was even easier! Today he woke ME up at 7AM ready to go to school! WHAT??!! Yes, I am so excited he is excited for school and I am realizing this summer school is actually a blessing as it will make the transition to all day school in the fall much easier for him..and me! I am so happy for him and I can't wait for what this school year will bring for him. BUT until then I do intend to enjoy this SUMMER! Cool temps and all....: 0

Hi Vicky! Leiton has Mrs. England. Who does Colton have? Who does Nolan have? Hali has Mr. Sheeley who I guess is new this year.
