Goodbye 3rd Grade

                         1st day of 3rd grade                                                             Last day 

Our not so little Jon is now onto fourth grade, this past year I feel like he has really grown a lot. I can’t believe we have a fourth grader! It feels like just yesterday I was holding his hand walking him into preschool, I was the one crying and Jon was telling me it’s ok I can leave now.  I’ve seen a lot of growth in him this last year and he’s really coming into his own.  The way he handles some situations or when he’s talking to his cousins, I sit back and observe him and just think wow.

I knew at the beginning of the year I was worried how he would do from going to a modern school in the bay area for the last 3 years that had all kinds of programs and activities. To school here in Sacramento, where from where I remember were always getting budget cuts and had no activities because of lack of funding. His school is great though we made a good choice. They have a lot of parent and teacher involvement. They also have a lot of different clubs which the students alternate every 3 months to try different things Jon likes it and has made a lot of friends. 

Have a nice day!

        

              

Jonathan turns 9

Our not so little (anymore) boy Jonathan turned 9 on the 24th. I took this picture yesterday and looking at it, he just looks so grown up to me, I couldn’t believe it. I started looking back at pictures when he was a baby and toddler. And started thinking back to when we found out we were pregnant with Jon and I started crying. We were both just 19 that feels like 100 years ago. I was a complete different person then. We were scared, we were going to bring this whole other person into this world. We were going to be responsible for raising him and building his character. What if we messed up, it was going to be our fault. What if I didn’t have an immediate bond with him, what if I suffered from postpartum depression. To be honest I was never much of a baby person, I was an only child, I didn’t think I ever wanted kids. I was a very selfish person. I had a life plan and this was not part of my life plan.

 Then he was born and I knew my life would never be the same again. I can’t explain how much I love this boy here and our daughter. There are no words. Its has been an amazing journey watching him grow up. He is very social, likes having long hair, playing sports and Mind Craft. Although right now he is grounded from video games, he’s not doing so good in math. So we have been focusing on extra math homework. Next year he will hit double digits and I wont be able to believe we’ll have a 10 year old. 

I hope you enjoyed your birthday son, mommy and daddy love you!!
