Owen's last day of first grade was Tuesday this past week. What a year he's had. Have I mentioned (just a time or two, right?) how phenomenal his teacher was? We were so lucky! He learned so much in first grade. He now can do 100 math facts in 10 minutes. He's started learning multiplication and division. He's writing how to stories and journals. He learned vulgar cheerleading songs about girls w/ sexy legs. And, he brought home many phone numbers and "I love you" notes. Oh...and he's a bit of a wise guy know it all. You take the good w/ the bad, I guess. On his way out of class the teacher lined everyone up and said goodbye one by one to them. I was there watching, because I always take the boys out to lunch (their pick...he picked Chili's) on the last day of school. As she said goodbye to each student she also said a little comment, such as "have a great summer." or "don't forget to practice your reading." When she got to Owen she said, "Owen, I just know you are going to do great things." Owen puzzled over that a bit as we left. "What do you think she meant, mom?" No idea...but I'm fairly certain she wasn't referring to soccer. The world is your oyster, kid.
