I Wonder

We've successfully made it through the first week of school. Eric likes his teacher and so do we. Mary is a junior this year and, as is typical for junior year - it will be her toughest year academically. The pressure is on junior year to not only get good grades, but also to score well on the SATs. Mary definitely has her work cut out for her this year, but I think she's up for the challenge. Hilary leaves for college in three weeks.

Of course, with the start of a new school year, I can't help but think about Jack and wonder what it would be like if he was going to school like everyone else.

Unbelievably, Jack should be in 5th grade this year!

I wonder if he'd like school.

I wonder what his favorite subject would be.

I wonder if school would come easy to him or would he have to work at it.

I wonder what color he'd want his backpack to be.

I wonder if he'd prefer to wear tennis shoes or sandals to school.

I wonder if he'd still let me pick out his clothes, or would he have a style of his own.

I wonder if he'd want PB&J or a turkey sandwich in his lunchbox.

I wonder what sports he'd be playing or what clubs he'd belong to.

I wonder if he'd come home from school and get his homework done right away or procrastinate like his brother.

I wonder if he'd be interested in girls yet.

I wonder how tall he'd be.

I wonder what his voice would sound like

I wonder what kind of music he would listen to on his iPod.

I wonder what his personality would be like.

I wonder if he would be a serious kid or a goofy kid.

I wonder what his friends would be like.

I wonder if he would be high compliance or a free spirit.

I wonder.



and it hurts.
