Preschool Graduation

Keegan 'graduated' preschool this week.

Here is was on his FIRST day of Pre-K last August.
Here is was last week on his LAST day of Pre-K. He looks older and wiser, right?
I've started an official tradition where I cry like a baby on Keegan's first and last day of the school year. It's so bittersweet.

It was hard to say good-bye to his classroom, even when it was empty. It represented another year gone by too quickly in my precious boy's life.
I cried when the kids came out of the school to be picked up on their very last day of preschool. (Keegan is in the light blue shirt, 2nd kid from the right).
I met Keegan at the car with some special balloons to celebrate.
I cried when I took a picture of his little Gap backpack, knowing he will outgrow it much too soon.
I asked myself, "Did I embrace this year.... or did I simply endure it?". Some days I'm just enduring it, and those are days I'll never get back. How beautiful it would be for me to learn to embrace all my days with him.

In only a few short months he'll be off to full-day Kindergarten.

And, I already plan to cry then too...
