1st day of Kindergarten to a big 5th grade grad!
As my little girl will be making the transition to elementary, my little boy will be leaving it. Nate has finished 5th grade and will enter that BIG, BAD world of the Middle Schoolers. To say that I'm proud of all of his accomplishments would be a huge understatement. He takes his schoolwork seriously and helps around the house. He is a fantastic big brother and genuinely cares about other people.
I got to attend his 5th grade awards ceremony and was amazed at the amount of times his name was called. His interests are so varied and he loves to be involved with as many things as he can. Most of all, I am proud of the person that he is. Whenever I meet his teachers or the parents of his friends I hear about how respectful, polite, and kind he is. I can see the adult that he is growing into and have only one great hope.....
PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T LET MIDDLE SCHOOL RUIN HIM!! Come on, we've been there-that place is horrible!! I see teen angst on the horizon and can only hope that he stays as mellow as he is now.
But for now, congratulations Nate! Your Daddy and I are so proud of you everyday!! We love you.

You should be so proud!!
And I understand the middle school fears. Truly, I think those years were more difficult than the high school years have been so far.
That KG picture of Nate is just too much! I can't believe that I meet him in 3rd...my how they grow ;(
