The Graduate

I tried uploading this the other day and my computer was being completely wonky so I gave up in frustration.

I'm back today to post the pics...but they're completely out of order and today I'm lacking the patience to mess around with blogger's completely wacky photo placements.

Owen graduated kindy last Tuesday and we of course, are super proud.  It seems weird that he's moved beyond "kindergartner" into the rocky terrain of "elementary schooler".  It literally seems just a week or so ago that i was sniffling in the kitchen writing him a letter as he slept the night before his first day of school.  

Anyway....here he is, pictures all askew, as he graduated on Tuesday.

Good job Owen! We are so proud of you! :)

He Reads

One month in and they've got the kid reading....
Who says Georgia public schools are less than par?

Back to The Norms....for Awhile

Time for a break from the political garbage for a bit and let's move on to more important things: Me.

Okay, well...not ME per se, but....things revolving around me and my life. That's what we're here for people, right? RIGHT?!

Anyway, a little bragging on the O-Dawg if I may.
The following letter came home from school today:

To the Parents of: Owen Nowack
From: Gifted Education Teacher: Regina Hookidty-Boogity (not her real name)

Your child has been nominated to take screening tests to determine whether or not he/she is eligible for placement in the Gifted Education Program for the upcoming school year. This process may take six to eight weeks.......blah, blah, blah......


So it would appear that even after all my worry and concern, that he's doing just fine. And I'm thrilled to death about it. :)

**chest swelling with pride**

And He's Off!!

He was so excited this morning, up around 6:15 and bouncing off the walls....

"Take a picture of my packpack, mama!"

Finding his seat in his classroom....

And this is how I left him....he didn't even look back. :)

And no, I didn't cry. :)
I got all that out last night.
Today, I'm just proud and happy for him.

Have a great day Owen!
