in middle school this year! How crazy is that?! My little boy has entered the 6th grade of middle school today and it is a bittersweet time for me. Honestly, it feels like yesterday he was going to nursery school and then kindergarten a couple of years later. Ironically, Rachel had her nursery school orientation today at the same nursery school Jake attended 9 years ago and she will have the same exact teacher Jake had too.
The start of middle school didn't go quite as Jake had planned. Last evening, while at friends for a Labor Day picnic, Jake had an accident playing football. While running, Jake hit a ditch in the ground and fell on his wrist. After about an hour, a bump that formed on his wrist forced us to make a trip to the emergency room. We spent a couple of hours in the ER where they x-rayed and splinted his arm until we were able to see an orthopedic today. Well, the orthopedic confirmed a fracture of Jake's growth plate in his wrist. He will be casted for four weeks which will include the time we are on vacation in Disney later this month. Not quite the way Jake wanted to end the summer or start middle school. He's in good spirits and has a good attitude. The water-proof cast will not hinder most day to day activities like taking a shower, but football is out of the question!
We are so proud of Jake and we hope his middle school years are as great as his elementary years. He has been such a great student and other than the reputation as the class clown, Jake has been complimented for being a well mannered young man. I hope he continues to make wise choices and takes advantage of the education offered to him throughout the rest of his school days. He is so incredibly smart and I know he can do whatever God has planned for him in life.
