In A Year's Time

Today was the last day of Kindergarten for Nathan.  As I look back at the first day, so many things are the same, but so much has changed.  When we went to Kindergarten orientation last August, Brian and I weren't sure what we had gotten ourselves into by immersing Nathan into Spanish, but like with most things, he charged ahead and proved our worries to be silly.  To hear your child read is amazing in and of itself, but to hear your child read, write and converse in a foreign language at the age of 6 is incomprehensible at times.  I'm glad we held out and waited for a spot at Longfellow because this has truly been a remarkable year.  The school is such a great community and besides the academic piece, Nathan has made many great friends this year.  Beyond that he has really embraced the school's running club and went on to log almost 100 miles run this year.  His hope is to be one of the elite runners in the 125+ mile club next year...I think he can do it!  I can't wait to see what first grade and beyond holds for you Nathan!
