I'm Currently Feeling:  | My son's preschool graduation
is tomorrow morning! Such a bittersweet day! Bet there won't be a dry eye in that place tomorrow.
The thing is, he has come so far this year. He used to drag me into the classroom to say goodbye to me, but now he leaves me at the door and waves. He loves school now and is so brave going to bday parties on his own.
Then he's off to kindergarten next year and he won't be as brave the first day of school. Not one of the kids from the preschool will be attending the same school as he will be.  So he will be uncomfortable and all that he's come so far in doing this year will be a step backward for a period of time next September.
And, my daughter, my goodness, she's in grade 1 and holy, it is amazing at the how far she has come. She's reading now, for crying out loud! She's spelling words, etc.
It's this time of year that reality sets in and you see your little ones growing up, learning and developing so much!
What a difference 12 months make! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Preschool graduation is the cutest thing to witness. They wear the cap and gown just like a grade 12 graduate and they receive a preschool diploma.
They already did individual pictures of each of the preschool graduates in their cap and gown and put them up on the wall at the preschool. My gosh, it was like fast-forwarding to grade 12.
Jayden looked so cute! When I get my hands on his pic I will post here.
So bittersweet watching your kids grow up, isn't it?
Makes me also appreciate even more a new little boy due to arrive in a few months! |
