Preschool Graduation Follow up

Tonight we took Sophia to meet her teachers and see her classroom at Bunnies and Blocks Preschool. She was a little shy, as usual, but Ms. Tammy got a smile out of her before she left. She played with all the toys and finally got to go play on the playground that she has only watched Brayden play on until now. I am sure there will be more Sophia preschool stories to come but the thing that struck me most was how much Brayden has outgrown preschool.

Back in June, I was so sad to watch him leave Bunnies and Blocks. He had a great experience there and I was having a hard time imagining sending him to kindergarten. Now, 3 short months later, I was amazed at how big he looked trying to play with the toys and on the little playground. He too, was frustrated at the "baby toys" as he called them. He didn't fit on them! How did that happen so quickly!!! Just a few months ago, he was a little kid playing on those toys.

Brayden went to Kindergarten camp at his new school last week and he got a taste of what it is going to be like. He is excited and now, even more so after visiting his old school! I am surprised at how easily he has moved on. He doesn't call Bunnies and Blocks "my school" anymore, it's "Sophia's school" now. Wow.

I'm gonna do it!

I decided today to trade cake and junk food for my running shoes again. I found a new 5K that I am probably not going to be able to run but I want to do it. September is a good time to start over. The kids will be going to school and there will be no excuses for me not to exercise. I want to be running the Seacoast 5Ks next Spring. I ran a little today and it felt good so as long as I am not injuring myself I am going to keep going.
