My Little Boy Is Not So Little Anymore!!!!

I'm a week late at this but Mike stated Primary 1 (Pre-K on a Kinder/1st grade curriculum). How has this happened!!!! When did this happen!!!! Please Father Time... Slow the HELL down and let me play catch up!!!

"I'm going to fly to the bus mom!!"


NO MORE CARPOOLS FOR ME!!!!! My baby gets to ride the bus!!!!! He was so excited!


He looks bite sized getting into "Big Blue" as he calls it


I did however ride the bus with him on the first day and he was not thrilled about it. He told me that he was a big kid and didn't need his momma anymore... YES..... Tears almost fell out but if he saw me, I probably would have gotten yelled at :-)




Putting on his "indoor" shoes and standing next to his cubby

One of his Olympia ladies - Halle





The Olympia kids do not stray too far from each other :-)



He's HOME!!!!!


His BFF Sofia!!!!


He is turning into such a little man and I am so excited to see how he blossoms this year. Mrs Grayston emailed me today telling me that Michael is settling into P1 like a duck to water. He is always trying to do the right thing and follows directions extremely well. So proud of this kid!

бухта тихая - "Quiet Bay" Part 3 - Mountain Climbing and Hiking with Kiddos

After we rested it was time to take the kids up. To get to the hill we had to cross this little tide pool like thing. For most it was easy but not so much for Mosya. She caught a wave and got washed ashore. Then got distracted by the Salmon that came jumping upstream. She just had to check that out.



Then it was Atlas's turn to check it out before it jumped back into the water


And then Ash needed to see what this was. She pushed it back in and let it swim off before becoming a snack for the dogs



Photo op on the way up!




The kids kept saying - "Lets go higher mom! Higher"


So up we went


They did so great and not one of them complained!




Ashlynn's jacket has wings on the back and she asked me if they would help her fly up :-)



This is her "I'm tired but I need to go higher" pose


Truthfully suprised the dogs have not given out on us yet



My main man



Hannah being with us was very beneficial. Each person was responsible for a kid!!


This was a bit scarred on the way down


Mike and I moved VERY slow - note how far ahead they are


SLEEPY TIME!!!! We were so very tired




Tired pups




We had such a good time!!!Until next time.
