This kid is really growing into his independence. I was really worried about him being in middle school this year, but he has taken it like a champ. He is also making more decisions on his own. He wants to wear shorts every day, no matter how cold.
The kids were off school today, so we went an old favorite beach park that we live by today. We haven't been to it since we moved. It has changed a lot, but is also very much the same...kind of like him.
