Moving Up

The last day of school was finally upon us. After months of learning, living and being stalked by a fellow classmate, Emma is officially done with first grade. She now has the summer to ponder her life as a second grader. At first she wasn't thrilled with first grade coming to an end. But this morning, as she walked to her classroom for the last time, her second grade teacher said 'Hi Emma', and she was on cloud nine. 

"She knows my name!!!"

Instant joy. Elation carried her the rest of the way and deposited her in her chair. 

 I can't believe school is finally over and she is moving on to second grade. Before I know it she'll be seven. Then she'll be driving. Lord, this life is passing me by.
