Farewell to the School Year

Today was the last day of Preschool for this school year.

I about started to cry when we got into the school and some of the decorations were already taken down (Things like the kids' name tags since the teachers were giving them to the kids...) 


I've just loved watching the kids learn so much and make new friends over the last nine months, and the teachers have been beyond awesome. Even though Oakley is going back next year, and Elliot will be going the year after, I'm really going to miss them. They put so much extra time and effort in making sure everybody is learning and able to keep up with the rest of the class all while making it look like effortless fun to the kids.


"Graduation" is tomorrow, and before this year, I'd always thought that preschool or kindergarten graduations were just about the dumbest thing out there, but now I'm seeing that it's a step where your "baby" goes from toddler to a mini-grown up. I don't know how I'm going to hold it together tomorrow. I'm not usually one to be emotional, but this just seems like such a final and abrupt end to the school year. I know I'm being a big sissy about it, but there it is.
