The 34 year old 3rd Grader
I loved third grade, and I am loving being back in third grade with my oldest son. I love the math drills and adventurous books, the fun field trips and science experiments. Third grade really is awesome. Bennett has a project right now on Australia and I have to keep reminding myself to let him do it, because I am so excited about it! Kind of sad, I know. The great thing is he is excited about school and loves these projects too, and thankfully he lets me help. Projects and presentations are kind of my thing. I love all the detail and making things look polished. I thought for a brief moment in the shower this morning that I should maybe try and find a job that entails those kinds of things. I have a feeling it wouldn't be as much fun as returning to third grade though. I wish I could impress upon Bennett the importance of enjoying this time, of not caring what other people think but embracing who he is and having fun, and not worry about the future but cherish the day to day. I wish I could but I know I can't, because it will simply go in one ear and out the other like it did when I was little and grown-ups told me those things. I guess I could try reverse psychology but I am very afraid of what the outcome might be for that. For now I will just sit back and enjoy third grade with him, and hope that someday he can enjoy it with his son.
