Last night we went for a walk after dinner. Â You rode your bike, an activity that we definitely haven’t practiced enough this summer. Â You’re a very nervous rider, probably made even worse by the fact that your training wheels clearly weren’t tight enough for your evening ride. Â As I walked behind you, I noticed the sidewalks were broken and crooked and really hard for you to ride on. Â But we kept encouraging you to keep trying, because there’s no other way to learn than to just keep trying. Â I thought about this next journey you’re about to begin…starting kindergarten. Â And as cheesy as it sounds, I thought about all the crooked and broken roads you’ll have to travel along the way. Â I won’t be able to make them straighter or easier for you to travel. Â You’re just going to have to keep trying, and I will be right there behind you, offering encouragement and the occasionally push to get started again. Â My big boy, I am so proud of you and I’m so excited to watch you learn and grow this coming year. Â I really hope you enjoy the ride!
This post is the first installment of a weekly blog circle, documenting the first year of school (kindergarten) for The Class of 2028. Â We are a group of moms and photographers spread out across the world, who are excited to capture this exciting time in the lives of our children. Â Stay tuned for a new post each week, and be sure to read through the other blog posts in the circle. Â Next up is Melissa Pizzalato!
