I love the end--the end of the story, the wrap-up, the completion of one thing to go on to something new.
I love the end of summer. The last minute hikes in the canyons to see everything before the colors start changing. It finally begins to drop in temperature. My kids fidget in anticipation, excited to wear new clothes bought at the last possible moment--a little big-- in hopes that they will last the school year. My kids and I get a routine back, myself a slave to school bells just as much as when I was in school.
Now, there are NEW stories to read. Science projects to explore. Exciting things to tell each day around the dinner table. Friends seen each day and new ones made. Most importantly, a chance to learn new things and grow.
A chance to read, practice math and spend a couple hours withother kids learning, instead of all by himself with just mom for company.
A chance to be a great friend, find out about experiments that will drive Momcrazy as each day something new can be tried, to become more responsible
and crazy smart.
A chance to hone the steel trap of his memory, absorb new facts,test his physical strength and continue to excel in anything
he desires.
The beginning of new school year is filled with possibilities.
