Today is the BIG DAY!!! Kyle starts Scott Johnson Middle School! He is SUPER excited!!! Kyle will be riding his bike to school most days. It's about a mile ride both ways. Not too bad. Last week Kyle & I took a bike ride there & back. It took about 10 minutes. Then he went with his 2 buddies-Dylan & Luke 2 more times! He's become so proactive this Summer-mowing lawns to make money, trying to find "his" style while school clothes shopping, & wanting to know the route & timeline to & from school. I'm so proud of him. He's really changing. Walking that fine line of boy & young man. That's a hard transition. He sure has been a sticker several times over the this past year, but I think I'M FINALLY STARTING TO UNDERSTAND. It took me a while, but I am FINALLY remembering being on that fine line. Kyle & I will work through it-this is OUR YEAR!
On Sundays a church worships in the cafeteria of Scott Johnson. So yesterday Duane took Kyle to the school to practice his locker. Duane said everyone ushered them into the cafeteria, & they made a B-Line for the exit into the hallway to find Kyle's locker! LOL!! Duane was able to get video on his phone of Kyle figuring out his combo. He did it 8 times without problems!!!! Duane showed him how to do it, Duane was patient & encouraging & Kyle did it! Just what Kyle needed-practice, time & patience. Duane is SUPER GREAT! And that is 1 less thing for Kyle to worry about or feel awkward about on his first day of school. What a relief, huh.
I will be taking him to school this morning (he wants me to!). He's letting me bring my camera today & I get to take pictures of him. He's proud to be in middle school!
I wish you luck Kyle! I hope you have a GREAT day! I'll be thinking about you throughout the day hoping you're having FUN!!! I'm proud of you & I love you!
