| First day of school |
Jonas started Second Grade this week and while it had a couple of
hiccups it was, for
the most part, pretty good. Jonas as always, is a well adjusted and
socially sound kid. He was excited to start at a new school and make new friends
in addition to his old ones. He doesn't seem phased by much and is so
easy going. Definitely more like his Dad in this regard. I have no doubt he will shine bright and succeed.
I don't remember a lot from my elementary school years. My mom is the
best, she is supportive and has always been their for
us...but she wasn't the type to document every little shit and piss I
ever did in an anthology of my entire existence up until this point. She has 5 kids and honestly, she just didn't have time for that and that is okay with me.
Jer's life was very
much documented. His mom kept everything and wrote everything
down. They have family vacations, holidays, school days, etc photographed and
organized in albums. I loved when his mom shared the albums and the binder full of Jeremiah's school days with me. It
was a part of him that existed that I could never touch. Somehow I still
knew him through his constants of then that are still a part of him
now. He is a snarky chop buster but he is also just a really good
person. He always has been.
I save
everything, a lot can happen in 7 years and while I don't have Jonas holding a chalkboard with Second Grade written on it, I have my own way of organizing it all so I don't
ever forget. I keep his binders, make his photobooks, and my fridge
is a collage of his accomplishments. He means everything to me and I want him to be able to look back and know we cared about every moment.
Best of luck in Second Grade, Jonas. You got this and someday, when it seems like forever ago, I will prove it to you.
