My little boy has officially finished preschool.
Two years ago I took my Reece to school on the first day of school and when I walked out of his classroom, I'm not sure who was crying harder him or I. I remember walking into that sea of children who were all having a grand time and were very excited to be at school, I turned to look at my baby and told him I would be back when he got done. He burst into tears and was screaming "don't leave me momma! don't leave me!" It was horrible! No matter how hard I tried I couldn't hold it together and by the time I got to the front door I just wanted to scream, "why Lord must my babies grow up, why?" I called Phil and all I wanted him to tell me was "just go get him and we will try again next year". That didn't happen. Instead he told me that he would be fine and he would get use to it. As much as I hate to say it, he was right. It did get better and the crying stopped shortly after CHRISTMAS VACATION.
So here we are two years later... he has officially finished Preschool and isready to conquer refusing to go to kindergarten. Oh boy! What are we going to do about that? I don't know, however, I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of time to worry about that in August and with any luck at all I won't have too and he'll just decide it's cool to go to Kindergarten.

So on the LAST day of Pre-K we spent the day at one of our favorite places...THE ZOO! It was a day filled with
Pretty Peacocks who were showing off
Imaginations
Lots of cool animals
Fun places for pictures
Fabulous Friends
Sack Lunches
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ellee wishing someone would feed her so she didn't have to eat her toes
And what's a trip to the zoo without fire alarms sounding?
Does this look like a face that would do exactly what it says to do? Well...it is and he did!
So school is over and summer has begun. I guess all great school years must come to an end and I couldn't be happier to have them home again, however, it's just one more reminder that they are one step closer to walking out my door and walking into another one.
