ready or not

My mother-in-law mentioned this the other day, and I whole-heartedly agree -- Jackson is rapidly changing into a big school kid. In the last 2 months he has grown taller and his once stocky physique has become quite long and slender. He's got the Windley legs now! And, there is a maturity in his demeanor and speech that is hard to describe.

I caught him taking a little rest.

He is really into building things. Legos and K'nex are the favorites and they are constantly all over his room. Also a hit right now is ANYTHING Star Wars. Cousin David loaned us a bunch of The Clone Wars DVDs and that is all I hear about! He knows more about droids and space ships than I ever have. We discovered a whole Star Wars section of early reader books at the library and he is in heaven!

He's been reading some of the early reader books to us. It's odd to go from being the reader to being the listener. We are so proud of him.

We should find out any day about what track he will be for kindergarten. The parent orientation is next month. He's definitely ready. The question is... am I ready?
