Last day of school

We are about to embark on the last day of Logan's first year of school.

Logan's top banana day!

I remember taking him the very first day. Standing there amongst the crowd of parents with their children. I was nervous for him. I wasn't sure exactly how he would do. How he would be being away from me for long periods of time everyday Monday to Friday, because he was never in daycare.

Logan learning patterns

And yet he surprised me.

His first day of school came and went very quickly. I arrived to pick him up that day and he was all smiles. He loved it! He loved it so much that he didn't even want to leave. He cried the whole walk home. I had to keep telling him over and over again that he would go back tomorrow. Eventually the transition became easier and easier.

Now I find myself telling him again and again that tomorrow is his last day of school for two months to get him prepared for the fact that come Monday he won't be going to school.



Learning to spell his name

Logan has made many strides in school this year. Before starting school Logan was very difficult to understand and within a month of being in school his speech had made leaps and bounds! I couldn't really believe it myself. And sometimes he surprises me with some of his comments that he makes. It makes me laugh a lot of the times.

I can't believe how quickly the year has gone by! We have had a few snow days, lots of sick days and many many falls, but we have come out the other side alive.

I really love it when we leave school and all his friends are yelling his name and saying goodbye. He is a very friendly little guy and I think anyone is lucky to have him as a friend. He really cares about others and makes everyone feel included. (Well with the exception of his sister sometimes!)

I know that come September he will love the day that he gets to go back to school and get to see everyone again, but for now we will enjoy the summer together. (And maybe get asked for the first couple of weeks if it's his school day today!)
