I learned something yesterday, my baby boy is no longer wants to be my baby. I love all my kids but for some reason Kenny has always been the one that I have a very special relationship with, he has always been my baby, my cuddle bug and a big mommy's boy. I still get hugs and once in awhile I hear mommy from him, but like Maranda and David he is starting to grow up and wants to be on his own. Yesterday I got to spend the whole day with him, when he would be around me that was. They held their 4th grade Fishing Derby and grade level picnic yesterday. He had fun fishing with his friends and this group of friends had all the girls surrounding them. It was so funny to see. His teacher was telling me that the girls all flock to this group of 5 boys. She said in her 30 years of teaching 4th grade it has been this bad. She also told me all the girls cling to Kenny like they did my brother over 20 years ago when she had him in her class. Of the group of 5 boys 4 of them play all the sports they play together. Kenny did come over to me at one point and said mom lets go find a quiet place to eat lunch. Since it was their day they could eat at any time. I went to the car to get our lunches and we found a nice place under a tree to eat lunch. We talked and ate. One of his friends came over he was eating with his dad (whom happens to be my boys baseball coach), his friend was taking a picture of Kenny on his Cell phone. Next thing I know Kenny is taking his phone out of his pocket and doing the same thing. I told Kenny he isn't supposed to have his phone at school and he said his teacher didn't care as long as they were off, during school. I guess you are someone important to be carrying a cell phone in 4th grade. Many of the kids didn't catch fish but that's alright. Many got bored with fishing and there were a few kickball and baseball games going on around the pond grounds. They had fun. They went back to school where they had ice cream sundaes supplied by a local Ice cream shop that the owners have a daughter in their grade. Which is the same girl that is just in love with my Kenny. She is the one that is always bringing him coupons for free ice cream cakes when ever she is at their shop. Her mom had me bring the kids over to have their had prints on the wall. They are having kids that come in add their hand prints to be like a boarder around the shop. When I took the kids in their daughter was there and they put their hand prints next to each other. It is cute.
Also the boy Josh that he played football with last year that is sick, can no longer attend school. My best friend has one son in 4th grade and was at the Fishing derby yesterday she called Josh and told him that Kenny was there and Josh walked down to see Kenny and fish with him. I was so proud of my baby boy, he told his other friends that he wanted to spend some time with Josh and they went and found a quiet spot to fish and talk. They talked about how he has the new tumors, and the next upcoming surgeries. How Josh felt in general. Kenny told me that Josh is really scared this time. He just thinks they are going to keep coming back. They also made plans to get together before he has the next surgery next month, Kenny promised to come see him in the hospital again. When it was time for the kids to return to school Kenny went over to Josh before he left and gave him a hug and told him he was praying for him everyday. And promised that I would take him over to see Josh soon. When I got to the school for the afternoon concert Kenny said he wanted me to sign him out after. He also told me he cried for Josh on the way back to school. He later told me the whole conversation they had. But he was happy that they had it.
Also last night was the last concert of the year. And his last string concert. After much debate and thinking he has decided hes giving up the Cello and joining band and he is also joining chorus. This past Monday they had band try outs and he was chosen to play Saxophone, his second choice was percussion but the band director saw his long fingers and didn't even let him try out for percussion. His fingers are perfect for Sax. He is happy.

Kenny getting mad at me for taking too many pictures of him.
Makayla having to jump in one picture with Kenny at least I got her to stop giving him bunny ears and loser sign, but didn't realize she was sticking out her tongue in this one
The two boys share music during concerts and they had dropped it off the music stand Kenny's trying to get them back in order
Before entering the school. Shirt all nice and tucked in. He is such a cutie, especially when I get him out of the jeans and tee-shirts. The sun was in his eyes and he wanted to get inside to visit before they had to be in thier seats. That's my boy for you.
