5th GRADE!!!! WOW!

Oh my, what a week!  Yesterday was Chase's first day of fifth grade!  It was a bittersweet moment.  He has grown up so fast and into an amazing boy!  I am so proud of him!  However, I am getting ahead of myself.  See Tuesday night was “meet the teacher” night.  As tradition we go every year (even though we know all the teachers and they know us), we say high to his teachers for the year, find out what they need (extra supplies for the teacher) etc.  Then before we leave, we make our rounds to see the teachers he has had in the previous years (as long as they are not busy with new students).  This is when it hit me; this is the last time we will be doing this.  OH MY, it took all I had not to cry!!!!!  I cannot imagine what the end of the year will be like for me, as I will be graduating from college and he will be leaving elementary heading to middle school!  WOW, that is all I can say right now is just WOW, this year will end two chapters in our lives! As for him, he is so excited about this year, big dog on campus and all!  He was asked to do the news for school this year and he got the teacher he wanted.  He already has so many hopes and plans for this year.  I cannot wait to see what God has in mind for him!

With all that said, does anyone have any advice for a mom going through this for the first time?  Praying and trusting in God is what I do first.

But I will also take any advice!
