10 Things Right Now | Simon
Tags:
1. You are two months into 6th grade and you seem to be enjoying the adventure.
2. For school day breakfast you like to have either a bagel & cream cheese or a slice of toast & butter and a glass of OJ.
3. You are taking swimming lessons two nights a week in a class for middle school kids. Your class is held in the diving pool and your class consists of working on different strokes and drills from one end to the other. There have been a few issues with too much joking around (and in your case we totally know that means you think the teacher is cool) but overall you are getting a ton of exercise and your swimming strokes are looking stronger each week. Backstroke seems to be your favorite and I love, love, love watching you go from one end to the other.
4. You eat pizza from the cafeteria pretty much every day at lunch.
5. We got your first progress report for your grades in science and you have an A and we are super proud of you!
6. You are really into Garfield (the cat comic). Last week you checked out the comic book from the school library. Each morning at breakfast I find the comic section from the newspaper and pass it over to you so you can read Garfield and Classic Peanuts.
7. You already have your Halloween costume for this year. A Jedi of course (it was time for a larger size).
8. You are getting so tall.
9. You are a pretty big fan of the holiday season and you're getting excited for stuffing and mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving most specifically.
10. You have a wonderfully kind tender heart and I'm so glad you are my son.

Love the post. All of it so true. I like these posts the best since I'm not a scrap booker. And of course the last item made me teary ;-)

What a precious post Ali. Wish I had documented more while my daughter was young...
So glad to see Garfield is a timeless classic. I used to cut him out of the Sunday comics and wallpapered my room with him. Mom never said a word(bet she was glad I had paneling that would not peel off with the tape). Hey... feel some memories that I need to journal about.:) Now, wonder what I did with that stuffed Odie...?

Simon you are such a handsome and super fantastic boy! Way to go with your Science grade and swimming - can't wait to see a photo of you as a Jedi!! I am wondering if you are a morning person since you are swimming at night -- one of Garfield's favorite sayings is "I don't do mornings!"
