Owen - last day of school

006, originally uploaded by megan bauer.

Major changes:

Let's see....he's now demanding independence, and wants to be left alone. Often. I left him home alone for the first time last week. Briefly. Like, for 40 minutes. When I went to get Emmett for summer camp, and he didn't want to go (World Cup game was on). He will no longer wear clothes that aren't soccer shorts. He will not wear a nice shirt - only soccer shirts. And, I can't get him out of his sports glasses. He had a super fantastic teacher this year! He was the class student council representative (for 4 years straight). He can't wait to run track next year (4th grade is the start of track and field here). He's asking for a cell phone, an Ipod touch, and a TV for his room (even though he continues to sleep w/ Emmett). He likes to watch sports of any kind on TV - tennis, golf, track, swimming - doesn't matter. And, he continues to love the Discovery channel. Otherwise, he doesn't watch TV. He's moved into the second phase of losing teeth - lost his 9th one a few weeks ago. Still believes in the tooth fairy and Santa Clause (don't we all?). He rides his bike around the block and a few streets over, by himself. He texts better and faster then Eddie and I do.

This kid is ready for 4th grade!
