Well, he made it through kindergarten. Quite an accomplishment in my eyes. New school, new friends, new teachers, new everything. I'm so proud of my boy and how well he navigated this new, and sometimes very overwhelming new world.  And while Mateo doesn't look too happy up there (too busy trying to look cool I think), I know inside he too felt that he was bridging over into something even better: first grade. But for now, it's on to summer and all of the freedom and exploration that follows in its wake.
