It truly is amazing to think that my first little baby, who I held in my arms and thought would never grow up, is 4 1/2 years old already. What really gets me is how every day he is maturing and showing me things that he has learned. A few weeks ago we were at his sports class and when it was over the coaches gave each of the kids a piece of sidewalk chalk so that they could go and draw on the sidewalk outside of the facility. I was standing talking to my friend Karen and looked down to see Alec writing his name. I knew he could write the "A" but he was struggling on the "e" for such a long time. He wrote it so quickly and just as if he had been writing it all his life! I of couse had to whip out the camera and take a picture of my cuttie pie and his writing break-thru.
I think the thing that strikes me more than anything with Alec is is personality. The kid just does not quit!! Sometimes that is good, and of course sometimes it can be bad. Alec makes the absolute FUNNIEST faces I have ever seen and loves showing them off. He wears his emotions so clearly on his face that you almost always know exactly what he is thinking or what he is up to. At least with me, he can't get away with anything.
After much research and prayers we have decided to send Alec to St. Francis next year for school. We are currently filling out the applications and going through the process. How strange to think that he is in kindergarten next year! I need to take advantage of every moment I have the rest of this school year and summer to enjoy my big boy before he starts off on his official school journey. I am SO proud of him!!
