Middle School!!!

Today James had his first middle school shindig. I needed to breath into a paper bag the entire time. (Just kidding... but, boy was it stressful.) He got a form for class selection. Wow! He will be taking 6 classes. Three of the six will be Gifted. Gifted will be Language Arts, Science and Geography. He will also test for advanced Math. It is crazy! He will also be deciding what he wants to take for an elective next year. Who knows what he will select. I am going to let him choose since he will have such a big course load with everything else.

James was also nominated for a scholarship through the local counselors association. We will know in a month or two if he was selected. Heck! Even if he isn't selected, what an honor it is to be nominated! I am one proud Mama. It is amazing how this being who started out so small and fragile can grow to be so smart, strong and independent.

Last night James had his first football game for the Winter league. He sacked the quarterback. He was so excited. I think he had a difficult time falling asleep. The first words out of his mouth this morning were about football, too. It is so cute to see him get this excited.

This kid is just growing up too fast!
