My boy graduated today. Okay, so it was preschool but it was a big step for Brayden and for his Mom. I am unexpectedly very emotional about it and so is he. I began thinking about it more when I was flipping through pictures that have been taken throughout the year. It is shocking to see how these cute little 4 year olds have grown into kindergarten ready 5 year olds. The difference caught me off guard and now I have to admit he is ready. Ready to send off to the "Big School"
Bunnies and Blocks Preschool kind of fell into our laps and we couldn't have placed him in a better little school. We are all happy there and Brayden doesn't want to leave. He made his first friends there and has taken great steps to write his name and learn about things that I could never do or think of here at home. Today he cried. He doesn't want to go to the big school. That's okay. I don't want him to go either. But he's ready. He just doesn't know it yet.
Time never stands still. It is part of life to go through seasons and years and things are always changing. It one of his first life lessons. I have to teach him how to work through this one while managing it for myself too. We are closing the preschooler chapter and beginning the school years. Am I ready? I am going to miss the cute, inquisitive, outgoing, somewhat strong willed preschooler. But I am also looking forward to watching to see what he can do with his talents and personality as he grows. I hope to be able to give him opportunities to help him figure out who he is as he develops into a big kid. Our job is to help him become a well adjusted adult, not a 45 year old guy who lives in our basement, right?
So, thank you , Bunnies and Blocks! You have given us a great foundation for the big school and we will always be grateful! We,re off to the next chapter! Kindergarten! Hurray!
