Monkey Boy Graduated From Preschool:)



Yesterday was my First Son's Last day of Preschool. The night before I was very excited at the idea that we would not have wake up and get ready and go to school anymore. I needed a break from the everyday routine of School. That was all I was thinking about. Then in the Morning I was brushing my sons hair and I just started to cry. It hit me all of a sudden that this was the last time he would be in Preschool and how Kindergarten is just months away. As I was brushing his hair I thought to myself that pretty soon he will be able to brush his own hair and will not need me as much. All Signs of him growing up flashed before my eyes. I stopped crying and continued with my routine. We got in the car and started to drive to school. On the way to my sons Preschool there is a High School who wouldn't you know it was having their Graduation day too. I saw High School Students in their Caps and Gowns out my window and crying spell #2 came about. All I could think of is that before I know it he will be graduating from High School. I never understood people when they told me that it goes bye so fast. I was just dealing with a Colicky Acid reflux baby who I would give anything to have grow faster and sleep. We reached School and I had my Camera in hand I was taking pictures everywhere. I really wanted to freeze this moment ......I took Pictures by his cubbie, in his classroom ,by a tree. Seriously lots of Pictures did not even turn out good because I was taking too many. After I dropped him off I stepped out of the school and cried again. This time I cried about a half hour. My First Born was attending his Last Day of Preschool and There was nothing I could do to stop it. He was Growing up before my eyes ! I composed myself before pick up and watched him sing a few songs with his classmates before everyone ate snacks. I did not cry when he was singing his songs,but just felt a sense of accomplishment for him. So here we go,Summer will be over soon and Kindergarten awaits.

Oh gosh, I'm so right there with you! It's difficult to experience these milestones with them...you just wanna shrink wrap them and keep them in your pocket for a little while longer!

Cole and Bella just had their kindergarten promotion the other night and on the outside I was all smiles but inside I was a huge mess!
