Yeah, I'm a little behind.
This will be a busy week around here. The kids have their last day of school on Friday. Hard to believe it's here all ready. Due to the damn boundary changes, Noelle and Michael will have to say so long to several friends.
I'm not too worried about Noelle. As our youth pastor has said, "Noelle has never met a stranger". She can walk into a room and instantly find a buddy. I can remember taking her to the park when she was little. We would be there maybe five minutes and she would bring some little boy or girl over and introduce her new "fwend". It seems like every time we go to the store, there is someone who knows her.
While she will not being going to school with some of the people she has known since first grade, there is no doubt in my mind they will all stay connected. For them it will only be two years apart. (side note while I freak out and have a panic attack~that means only two years until high school!! for some reason, Sean felt the need to add "three years until she drives")
I know Michael will make friends as well, he just tends to be a little more reserved than Noelle. There is a group of about six or seven boys that Michael has hung out with since kindergarten. Of that group, Michael and two other boys will be going to a different school. (again, damn boundaries) It will be four years that these kids will be apart. I do have to say that while I'm pretty confidant that Noelle will keep in touch with her friends, Michael will move on and make new ones. It's funny how boys and girls are different like that.
There are some things that the kids are excited about regarding the schools they will now be attending. Michael's school is connected to the community center and that means swimming. Perfect for someone who is part fish! Noelle is excited about the size of the library and the auditorium for school plays. I'm glad they have both found something positive about the changes.
Also this week, Noelle turns~da, da, da~ 13!!! When did this happen, how can this be??? She sometimes has had the "attitude" that goes along with the age, just not the age itself. We are at times at the, "oh, I don't want to be seen with my parents" stage. I know the "my parents know nothing" is just around the corner.
Again, my parents just laugh and dad tends to add, "good, you got one just like you, sometimes wishes come true".
In my defence, I know they have to be talking about Amy.
