graduation

Well, today it happened: Camden graduated from preschool. I cannot believe I am so emotional about all this, but I am! I have gotten emotional off and on this whole past week. I was warned though... the teachers and the moms who have already gone through this told me to make sure I bring a box of tissues. Boy, were they right. I didn't need a whole box, but I did need 2 or 3. There was a big picnic for everyone after the graduation, and as soon as I got in the car to go home, I did what I shouldn't have: I watched the school and Camden's friends get smaller as we drove away. I know, it's like a drama movie or something! Needless to say, I cried the whole way home.

I think the hardest part of all this is just knowing that Camden L-O-V-E-D this school (and so did I!!) and now it's over. I know there are so many wonderful years ahead of us, but it's hard to let go of the present sometimes. I don't do well with change, even if it's good change. There are friends Camden probably won't ever see again, and moms I won't get to chat with anymore. Seeing Camden "graduate" just showed me what a big boy he is. He's certainly not a little boy anymore... he hasn't been for a while. I can't believe elementary school is just a couple of months away. I know he will LOVE it and he will thrive and do wonderfully, but it's just hard to let go of his preschool years. Anyway, thanks for letting me go on and on.

My little cutie in his graduation cap.

Accepting his "diploma" from his teacher. With hugs of course. :)

Class of 2010! :) His real cap at his high school graduation with say 2023. Crazy, huh?

Yay! He graduated!

Kindergarten... here we come!
