Lyric

Lyric will be 6 in August and starting school!!! I just cannot believe how fast they grow it seems like yesterday I was nervous about being a first time mom.  I held Lyric back a year because I just did not think he was mature enough to start school; I've also heard that it will be the best decision I would make for him.  At the time I didn't think so but now I have noticed that he is in such a better place,as far as learning and being interested in learning, than a year ago.  I went and registered him a couple of weeks ago for school and I thought I would not get the kid out of there! We got to eat lunch with the kindergarten and tour the school.  It was bittersweet watching him carry his lunch tray and all those mommy emotions took over so I am positive the first day I will be needing the tissues.

Lyric has been in a program the past two years called HIPPY which is just a preschool learning program they do from home.  He has meetings once a month where he gets to interact with other children and they have fun little activities we do throughout the year.  I think this has helped prepare him for school and I am glad that we found out about it. 

He is starting to understand the concept of sounding out words,which I think is AMAZING, because I didn't even know he was ready for that.  He started asking me what certain words were and I just made him sound them out and boom he caught on.  Biggest word so far that he has read is FAMILY. *proud mommy moment* :)

Lyric is playing t-ball this year for the Warriors.  I am proud to say that he is really enjoying it and is getting the hang of it pretty quickly......
