my last pre-school graduation

I'm so emotional about this.  I'm really not ready for this next stage of my life.  For the past almost 12 years I've had a little one by my side 24/7.  I love being a Mom it's the greatest joy anyone can ever experience.  And while there are times I want to pull my hair out and I did enjoy some free time 3 days a week,  I really enjoyed the one on one time I got to spend with Gavin on Mondays and Fridays.   He's such a great helper and loves to bake with me.  He's also really good company while I have to do my many errands.  I'm not ready for my kids to grow up I cry at each new stage.  But I think I'll need to be sedated when Gavin starts Kindergarten.  I'm not ready for him to have to go through all those tough times.  And I'm not ready to give him up 5 whole days of the week.   Ready or not it's happening and Gavin couldn't be more thrilled.  He's so ready he LOVED pre-school and can't wait to go to Kindergarten. He's a social butterfly and loves being around kids.  I can't believe how fast this year went by.  I say that every year but really it does fly by. 

The 1st thing he said when he got up there. Well he yelled actually is.
 "Mom are you going to cry?"   While every enjoyed a good chuckle from him it did make me tear up.

My little buddy

Mrs. Amy such a great loving teacher. 

The cute cake

Our little graduate.

He went to school 2 more days after he graduated.  Talk about confusing a kid.  When you tell them Graduation means you don't go to pre-school anymore then they go for two more days.  But he quickly forgot all about that as it was Splash day.  A day he was looking forward to all year long.  Last year he was to afraid to go on the big water slide.  This year we couldn't get him off.  He LOVED it. 

He also loved the kid wash and bounce house.  All the things 5 year olds really enjoy.  Such a fun day.




And when it was all over he came home and told Sadie all about it.  It was so funny to hear him describe his fun year of pre-school to the puppy.
