Time goes by

Tonight he graduates. Yes its only Little Lambs Preschool, but its still graduation. Graduating from level one. That first step of leaving home, being alone with strangers, being scared but working through it, making friends, learning, following rules, following schedules, gaining independence and learning the fundamentals of school. I remember dropping him off 3 years ago - it didn't go well. There were lots of tears; he was very scared and upset...needless to say we took him out and waited 6 more months. Second time around went better but a mom still knows fear in her child's eyes and it was definitely there. But here we are...graduating. And, I might add, looking forward to Kindergarten (and a new school) in the fall. Last night as I was tucking him in I asked a question that I ask both my boys every 6 months or so..."what can't you do that you want to learn how to do?" Cooper: "read" I think he is going to do just fine...
