On September 4, 2007, I wrote this extremely neurotic post detailing the events of that morning – Kate’s first day of preschool.
We were both nervous about taking this new step.
And here we are, not quite two years later, and it’s her last day of preschool. Ever.
She’s happy and excited for today’s end-of-the-year picnic (which my sister has graciously agreed to attend while I am working), and she’s anxious to move on to the next thing, to be done with “baby school,” and to start kindergarten.
I would have thought I’d be wistful and sad about today, and I suppose I’ve had my moments, but really I am just so proud of this girl, and so grateful to see her grow and learn and mature and become even more amazing than she already is.
Watch out, world. Here she comes.
Good job, Kate’s Mom!
Congrats on getting done with “baby School” Kate. And many ((hugs)) momma on getting thru it.
P.S. as far as cell phone photos go-that really isn’t a bad one. But dude, you should post it on the blog-I am sure someone would send you a camera to review :O)
How cute. We had our preschool graduation on Wednesday. I had to hold back tears (never thought that would be an issue). The kiddos are so proud of themselves.
Can I just say two things? One. Way to go, both of you, for achieving this milestone. Two, I teared up while touring the local preschool that my oldest ‘baby’ won’t attend until January 2010. Thank you so much for sharing this special and wonderful moment with us!
She is so sweet. Just wait until the first day of Kindergarten…. I balled my eyes out as Sean got on the bus. I couldn’t believe that he could go off into the world by himself. Congratulations on reaching this milestone!
Oh, how sweet! My soon-to-be 5 year old just graduated preschool last week, and it was bittersweet…mom’s just not ready for him to grow up yet!
