Elementary School

Do you know that there are 5th graders who are almost as tall as me (I'm 5'9")? Well, there are. Today I took H on a tour of the elementary school he'll be going to. He was so excited, and I think he's happy about it ... except I don't know for sure because he didn't say one single word the whole time we were there. (Maybe he noticed the giant 5th graders too.) I can't wait to see what next year will bring for him. But at the same time, how in the world did he go from being my little teeny tiny baby, to a 1st grader? Who gets allowance -- yes, that's something else new we started this week.
