He's almost too cool for his mama in fact!;(

So far, Walker is loving fifth grade.

He never had one single issue or complaint

at South Bosque and so I crack up

when he tells Hadlee how much better

and cooler River Valley is than her school?!?

It's funny!  I'm so glad he is loving

intermediate school though.  His teachers

are wonderful and he is learning A LOT.

I've been really impressed!!!!!!!!

He continues to really care about

his grades and, SO FAR, takes

care of his business (maybe sometimes

a little too much in that other fifth

grade mamas text questions about homework

and Walker always has finished his

AT school???  Thankfully his grades

have been good so I won't worry yet!). 
 

I was thrilled to have lunch with him

at school and go to the book fair with him...

Just a couple of weeks ago on the way home

from school, Jonah mentioned that his dad

had eaten lunch with him.  I was like

"Oh Walker, I need to come have lunch with you"!!!

He said, "That's okay" as in NO!;(

I was allll like SaY WHaT?!?

So, I asked Jonah if I could come eat with him

and he said, "Sure!"

Walker looked over at Jonah and said,

"When she starts dancing, you are on your own!"

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Like I've EVER danced in front of him

in public (in his school cafeteria!!!!!).

FuNNY BoY!!!!!!!!!

 

When the book fair rolled into town,

he was sure to invite me though;)

and even con me into a poster ...

I am not a fan of posters!!!!!!

 Walker has made some awesome new friends...

And he's keeping the same awesome

friends he's had for a long time...

He's got some fifth grade 'tude from time to time,

but he's still just a sweet, good kid

with a tender heart.

The other day a sweet new mom friend called

to tell me that she had asked her son out of

all of his friends ~ new and old ~ who was

the best example? She told me that

her son without hesitation said, "WALKER"!

WOW...that story did my mommy heart

soooooooooo much good.

My prayer is that this will continue!!!!!!!!

My baby boy is growing up way too fast.

I couldn't be more proud of him

and I couldn't love him more:)
