It's not exactly a news flash, but school is out in the Wariner House. This year was particularly poignant for Lincoln, as the school's end marks his final moments of elementary school and the beginning of something bigger (and in my case at least, something scarier).
Here is Lincoln at his 5th Grade Awards ceremony and graduation.
Lincoln made the A&B Honor Roll all year long and was awarded the Citizenship award. We are so proud of his accomplishments. His dyslexia and dsygraphia hasn't made it easy, but over the years, Lincoln has stuck with it and made significant improvements. Every single teacher Lincoln has ever had, even as early as Kindergarten has voiced nearly the same message: "Lincoln is a brilliant boy. He's going places." So I guess, regardless of how Jr High seems to me, I shouldn't worry too much. Lincoln will manage to find his stride.
I should keep the following statement in mind:
Trust me, keeping that in mind is way harder than it should be.
Either way though, it's summer. Time to enjoy life. Worries can wait. (They are quite good at waiting and take great pleasure in jumping you when you least expect it. Darn things)
So, on to summer. Is there anything that says summer more than a goggles on a 4-year old? When the boys aren't in the pool, their shooting each other with nerf guns, playing the legos, doing puzzles or games and of course, the spending inordinate amount of time on electronics.
And when our toys aren't cool enough, we simply invite over friends and suddenly our toys have a whole new appeal. And summer wouldn't be complete without food. We made a Costco run last week and I came home with all sorts of new exciting things. But I did have two additional helper and they did an amazing job loading the cart. (btw: I find that there is a great need for a sarcasm font)
Hope your summer is going well.
