Will has completed Kindergarten.<\/p>\n

And will enter 1st grade in the fall.<\/p>\n

Aren’t I too young to have a child in 1st grade?<\/p>\n

Will made necklaces for his teachers as a thank-you for the year.\u00c2\u00a0 For a last minute OH SH!T gift idea that came to me at 11:40pm 2 days before the end of the school year, I think we pulled it off well.\u00c2\u00a0 It was just enough time to get the kids to make necklaces (“Mommy, can we make cookies?” “NO, YOU’RE MAKING A NECKLACE.”\u00c2\u00a0 “But I don’t want to make another right now.”\u00c2\u00a0 “TOO BAD.\u00c2\u00a0 GET TO WORK.”)<\/p>\n

A.H. and Lulu: we owe you big-time.\u00c2\u00a0 Your b-day gift for Kate SAVED MY LAST-MINUTE ASS.<\/p>\n

Here are Kate’s necklaces.\u00c2\u00a0 She got some help from Will (read: Will did it) on the one with some symmetry.\u00c2\u00a0 (Will LOVES symmetry.)<\/p>\n

We had a bit more time for Will’s necklaces (he was in school one week longer than Kate).\u00c2\u00a0 Thank goodness, as we needed a few more ho-has to stretch our necklace-making capabilities.\u00c2\u00a0 The necklace to the left was made with pieces from another kit I got to stretch our supplies.\u00c2\u00a0 The only reason there is a necklace not done in a symmetrical fashion was because I encouraged Will to mix it up.<\/p>\n

I adore the necklaces but what really got my heart was how he drew the flowery circles and hearts when he wrote out the envelopes.\u00c2\u00a0 (Can you tell he has a very special place in his heart for his English teacher, Roxanna?)<\/p>\n

Will gave them out the day before school ended, which makes me feel pretty certain that he passed Kindergarten of his own academic merit, not for bribing his teachers with jewelry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
