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!
