Graduation Season

It's that time of year... the school year is coming to an end! For Russell this ending is extra special. He graduated today!!! He is now a graduate from pre-K! Due to a fall birthday, he had the opportunity to be in the pre-k classroom at our daycare this year and will be attending their kindergarten classroom in the fall. Don't worry he will be attending kindergarten again at our local public school the following year, but with the December 1st cut-off date we are taking every opportunity to give Russell all the wonderful school preparation we can without sending him off too early to public school! We are so blessed to have a daycare that offers these enriching programs!!! So, Russell and his pre-k classmates entertained the parents this evening with songs, a slide show, and snacks! The slide show brought tears to my eyes thinking back to the first day I dropped him off at daycare over 4 years ago. I cried the entire way to work and fought tears back all day long. Now I have become so attached to our daycare that I have to fight tears back thinking about someday saying goodbye to these women who have loved, nurtured, and taught my children so much. Thankfully we have a couple more years before this goodbye is upon us. What a fun night! We are all whipped and wishing it was the weekend already.

Sloane gives two thumbs up to the graduates! Here she was having fun with her best buddy, Ellie! Ellie's brother is in Russell's class. Yep, Aron and I aren't the only ones crazy enough to have kids only 17 months apart :-)
