Jr. High - ALREADY?!?!?!?!
Well, I seem to have made it through Cody's first day of jr. high a little better than Jami made it through Jaden's first day of kindergarten, but it was still tough. I couldn't wait for school to be out so I could see my baby! (He won't like that, but oh well...) When he rounded the corner after school my heart leaped a little just seeing his smiling face.
For those of you who haven't seen Cody in a while he's almost as tall as I am! He was so excited about starting school today, and I just hope that excitement keeps up for the rest of the year...I hope it keeps up for the next 7 years!! He walked up and said, "Mom, I had an awesome day!!" I was very relieved, but I knew he would.
It's going to be hard not seeing him everyday, a few times a day, walking around in our halls or popping into my room for something, but growing up is a good thing. I know that Jeff and I have taught him well and have loved him so much that he's popping at the seams, as a lot of you in his life have also done. I also know he has a few very special "guardian angels" watching over him when we're not around. And...I also have my "spies" from church, or former babysitters who are teaching at the jr. high who have promised to keep an eye out for him too. Thanks Amanda for being his other mom!!
So, even though I have cried a lot the past week, I know that he's going to do really well and do great things in his life! Now...how do you think I'll be next year when he starts playing football??? Let's not even go there yet.......
