Sugar Bear has had a very busy year! We've had lots going on. He started baseball season in April. He says it is much more fun than soccer. Thank goodness! We had to drag him to all the soccer games. I'm still not convinced that organized sports are his niche but at least he is not constantly complaining.
His very first baseball game he got plunked in the mouth during warm-ups. The game had not even started. Not the way we wanted to start the season. But he was tough and stuck with it. I was proud and was thankful that Brandon was there to help us deal with the drama. (It was a hard hit-knocked his two front teeth loose. Someone asked me what it was about my kids knocking their teeth out--to which I had no reply.) Lawson received the game ball that night for his dedication. That made it all better and worthwhile. We let him write his name on it and dated it. He has it sitting in my (uh-hem dusty) curio cabinet next to his soccer trophy.
On May 11 he graduated Pre-school. He was so excited. He wore his tie and wanted to make sure I knew exactly when to snap the picture at graduation. He said it was time to take a picture when the teacher handed him "that yellow thing that sits on papers". Huh? Had to be on my toes to not miss that one. Turns out he was talking about the yellow envelope that held his diploma. Whew! That was a close one and I DID get the picture!

Graduation was complete with a Star Wars finale. The three girls in the class didn't stand a chance with all 11 boys! He had some great teachers and we're very thankful for what he's learned over the past year.
We also got him registered for Kindergarten. That was interesting. He was very excited and I tried to be. :) It's hard to think about sending him to school by himself all day long. I know he'll do great and will love it. I think he's prepared and ready and I hope the teachers enjoy him as much as I do.
