6th Grade??

6th Grade? Really? I can't even believe I am typing this. My baby is going into the 6th grade. Andrew had his 6th Grade Parent Question night at Walton. The parents stayed in the cafeteria while the kids went outside to do friend building skills. This was really just a time where they talked to the parents and answered any questions you may have. There are only about 8 kids going to Walton that are currently at his school now. It is going to be a big adjustment for him. Andrew has always been very good at making friends, so I don't think he is going to have a problem doing so. It just worries me that he is going into a school where he will only know a couple of kids. I also know that this is when kids really grow-up. They learn about things that I don't want him learning about. They hear and see things that I wish I could shield him from. There are things that I know we will have to talk about this summer. I don't want him learning about things from other kids that he should have heard about from us. I didn't think we would have to have the sex talk until at least high school, maybe even college.....:) The principal said to go ahead and have the talk because they will hear about things from other kids....yikes. I don't even want to know!
Looks like I will be going to Barnes and Noble. Have you ever seen those Dummy books. They have one for everything. I wonder if they have one for sex talks? I'm gonna need it!

Baseball season is here! Andrew pitched his first game yesterday. He only pitched one inning but he did pretty well for his first time. I am not sure who was more nervous, him or Travis and I. They won 6-5. Way to start off the season. He has the same coach as he did last year and Andrew loves him. Last year they went undefeated so hopefully they will do it again this year. When we got in the car I told him how proud I was of him and asked him if he thought he did well. He said, "Mom, my legs were shaking a little bit"! Very understandable. He was proud of himself and so were we. He loves ball, just like his daddy did.

Andrew has been on Spring Break all week. He went to Travis' cousins house. Lorie has 6 kids so he had a blast! He plays very well with Gannon. (Gannon is their only boy). So I am sure it was just as much fun for him as it was for Andrew. I love that he knows and is able to play with family. Travis comes from a large family and it is awesome that our kids can play with theirs. Memories in the making.
