4th Grade

It's hard to believe that our baby is heading off to intermediate school. He still seems way too little to be leaving primary school, but he's definitely ready for bigger and better things! In a heart-to-heart conversation with Tyler, he confessed that he's not looking forward to 4th grade because "that's when kids start to get mean and bully people". It sure stinks to know that there is some truth to his words. We are hoping, though, that the fact that Joel's teachers have always said that he is such a good kid at school and makes friends with everyone will help him have a year full of more positive moments than negative. We hope that his sensitive heart and awareness of others will lead him to defend those who are being treated poorly. No matter what, we know that Joel is going to rock it in 4th grade....once we can get past the adjustment of 6:30am wake-ups ;)
