School Report

Ethan hopped off the bus today with a huge smile on his face. Ella ran up to hug him and Ethan looked so proud. The first thing he said was "There were some sad things and some happy things today." I was worried, until he sad the sad part was the he never got to eat his granola bar I snuck into his backpack. I guess that's not too worrisome. Ethan said, "I was very brave today and I asked three kids if they wanted to be my friends." I was so happy that Ethan was outgoing and confident. He said, "I don't remember their names, but atleast they are my friends now." My heart is at peace, knowing that he feels safe and happy about school. I teased with my friend that Ethan left this morning for Kindergarten, next thing I know he'll be coming home with his cap and gown. I am glad that Ethan is growing up, but I am happy that he's still my little boy too. I love him so much and I love watching him grow.

Ethan is so awesome and darling.Oh I love what he said about making new friends. I am so proud of him for reaching out, being brave, and asking kids to be his friends. Who needs to know names when you are having fun?
