Today I got the privilege of attending Tyler's "Moving Up" ceremony. I can not believe that I am the mother of a high school child now. I always dreamed of being a mommy, but my dreams never took me to this stage of life!!! In my dreams, they remained sweet, obedient, little kids and they run, play and take naps!! WOW! That is the stuff that DREAMS are made of!
Tyler has grown up so much this year. Of course, height wise he surpassed me a few years ago. I think he has officially passed JM, but JM is not admitting that yet! He has done a lot of maturing this year through lessons learned the hard way. It is not fun watching those "bad consequences" happen to your child, but you hope and pray they learn the lesson well the first time. Some issues have dragged us through the wringer multiply times, and we are hoping that high school will bring a new sense of ownership to his actions. I am very proud of the man he is becoming!
This is his group of friends. They have had a lot of good times together in junior high. The next 4 years should be fun with this group of diverse personalities!
Congratulations, Tyler!
