Last Day of First Grade

Last night I was sitting on the couch altering my friends bridal gown and J.J. came running in from outside. He went into his room and I didn't think anything of it. After a couple of minutes he started crying. I thought maybe he had hurt himself or something. I called for him to come talk to me and uncharacteristically of him, he crawled in my lap and continued to sob. After I asked what was wrong a few different times he finally said through pouring tears "I'm going to miss school." Poor little guy. He couldn't give me specifics of what he was going to miss and nothing I said comforted him. We decided making a summer count down paper chain was in order. After cutting the strips of paper for it, he discovered his friends playing outside and chose to join them. So, on to the last day of first grade today.
