Luau at school

James and his buddy, Nicholas

Lilly in the tunnel

Today was James' last day of school. We had a luau party complete with leis and tons of food. They opened the outdoor pools and fountains and the children were able to play and swim all afternoon.

It was a happy but dreaded for me. I am so proud of James for adjusting so well this year. This was his first time being away from me for any amount of time. At the beginning of the year, it was a little difficult for him. It was probably harder for me than for him, if the truth be known. Over the past year, I have seen him grow and become more confident. He enjoys going to school and being with all of the other children. He has made some good play mates and definately has his favorite buddies. There are several of his classmates that live in our neighborhood. We will be seeing them throughout the summer at the pool and having them over for playdates.

I look upon today as one of many milestones for James. My baby is becoming a little boy more and more each day. However, no matter how big he gets....he will always be a mama's boy!
