R<\/span>emember this? Tristan’s first day of school<\/a>. Doesn’t it seem like it was just last week?<\/p>\n

And then yesterday, this happened: Grade 6 graduation.<\/p>\n

\"Grade<\/a><\/p>\n

It was the most lovely day. The school thoughtfully thought to include as many younger siblings in day as possible, so Simon was asked to be an altar server during the mass. The lovely teachers wrote a few personal thoughts about every single graduating child to share as they received their diplomas, and every time I managed to stop the tears that were freely running down my cheeks, one of the teachers on stage would start crying and set me off anew. It was truly a lovely, memorable affair.<\/p>\n

When I was looking for Tristan’s first day of school photo for this post, I laughed out loud when came across the blog post I wrote on his first day of school back in 2006<\/a>. I wrote:<\/p>\n

\nWas the teacher nice? Yep.
\nDid you play with the other kids? Uh huh.
\nWhat did you do? Oh, you know. A craft. I made a school bus.<\/p>\n

A school bus. He made a school bus. My son, the artist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My son, the artist indeed. Guess who won the Creative Arts Award for his graduating class?<\/p>\n

My son, the artist AND the graduate. You read it here first. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
