and then there were 3


So yesterday Tristan started 8th grade. Did you just read that? 8TH GRADE! (sorry for the blurry picture, we were running late!) We brought Connor and Anna to school, they start at 8:10. Tristan doesn't start school until 9:00 and their schools are only about 5 minutes apart. What to do for the 50 minute wait? Walk the track! Spectrum is next to a nature trail that surrounds a marsh. So we walked the track (1 mile) and then did the 1/2 mile ( a little bit of running was involved in the half mile). It was fun to have some time with just Tristan and I. So when it was time for school to start, I walked in with him. He said, "why are you walking with me?" then, "why are you in my classroom?" All grown up and doesn't need his mom anymore! He picked a sunflower for his teacher and put it on her desk. He had a good day, which made me very very happy!

Wow! He is really growing up! He looks like a teenager for sure. I'm sure he acts like one sometimes...have patience Mom and enjoy every minute with him...like your walks before school--NICE! ILY
