Graduation

I mean if you had asked me three years ago if I thought that I would be writing this post in the blink of an eye my answer would obviously be "no." How cliche I know, but the years have flown by and Harper graduated preschool. As we sat in the pew and watched her on stage in her tiny cap and gown we did what we expected..sobbed. I thought the entire time how this came so quickly and how in the world I could freeze time. The teachers so graciously put together a ten minute video of pictures from the entire year and super sappy songs, and it was then I realized we have been prepping for this and enjoying every moment of the journey. Her preschool is the epitome of what you want for a child's school experience. They have adorable artwork, projects and parties for every occasion. They are truly able to be kids and they learn and grow and are never happier than they are in the classroom. It's never easy letting go of something and not walking her through those doors of St. John's preschool next year will hit me like a ton of bricks but what I have learned from my parent experience is to keep making school fun and a party for her. She can always learn and have fun and make the best memories of school. Nothing can replace our love for that little school but we are thankful, thankful, thankful for all it has done for our first baby. So in preparing for the next two kids who will one day be graduating from SJP we will bring lots of tissues take a ton of pictures and thankful hearts for the next step! Kindergarten ready or not our girl is coming for you, she is thrilled and can't wait!
