Last Day of School.

As if time didn't seem to be flying by anyway, Fawn completed his first year of preschool!  I cannot believe the year is over.  It feels like just yesterday that I was sitting at parent orientation, excited about what lay ahead for Fawn but also anxious about how he would adjust.  It was a wonderful year for him.  I couldn't be more pleased with the precious school he attends.  The teachers were beyond wonderful, and Fawn has matured so much and made some great friends.  Lucky for me, I made great friends too with some of the other mommies.  They add as much joy and companionship to my life as Fawn's friends add to his -- we are doubly blessed!

Dropping Fawn off the first day he seemed like such a baby (he was!), and now he is such a big boy.  I remember him clutched to my hand as we walked down the hall to his classroom.  How nervous he was when carpool began and he would leave the car without me.  How eager he was to jump into my arms when I arrived to pick him up.  By the end of the year, he happily exited my car (instead of having to be pried off by the sweet teachers).  On days I did walk him in, he would bravely walk most of the way himself and wave me goodbye.  And, if there was still fun to be had in the classroom when I arrived at the end of the day, he was assertively tell me that he wasn't quite done yet and could I please just wait for him.

He's learned how to play with his peers and how to make friends.  And, he's learned about the Lord.  He can recite Bible verses, tell me Bible stories, and sing spiritual songs.  It is just precious and a great foundation to build on.  And when Fawn's world got turned upside down by Small Fry's arrival, school was such a great constant -- a place that had nothing to do with our newest addition.

I am so excited to spend the summer with Fawn -- to not have an agenda or somewhere to be by 9 am.  But, I know he'll miss school and be so excited to return in September.

Excited for his last day of school!
