Why didn't anybody warn me that preschool graduation would make me so emotional?? I know it seems meaningless, but as I was watching her end-of-year program, it just hit me that she would never be in preschool again ... I will never have all my kids just at home with me all day where we set our own schedule and do our own fun things ... I will now lose control over the bubble I've kept her in ... soon she will be spending more time in a day with a teacher I don't even know yet ... this is a big change! My tears have flown and flown. I couldn't be more happy for her though. She's so ready for a new step (she's reading, doing math, she has great classroom and social skills, she knows how to tie her shoes ... go conquer the world, kiddo!)
I am looking at these pictures and here come the tears again. Oh brother. I'm such a sap. This is ONLY preschool! What am I going to be like when it's high school graduation?
Aubrie is so social. She just loves her friends and is such an extrovert. I often have to remind myself that I must give her social time because it's truly how she gains energy.
She actually had two days of graduation because she was in Joy School and a regular preschool.
I love you Aubrie. Now, if I can just let go a little.

Oh my gosh, just wait until the first week of Kindergarten. My second is going to start this fall and I just can't get over it. It feels like people keep taking my kids away :( I have no doubt that it is good for them though--Jordan just LOVES school SO MUCH. Good luck!
She is growing up so fast! What a sweetie. If you think you're crying now, just wait until the first day of kindergarten! There have been few times in my life when I've cried harder. Call me anytime you need a shoulder!
There must be something wrong with me...Maybe I just enjoy quiet time too much, but having my kids at school doesn't bother me at all! In the Fall all 3 of them will be at school (atleast 3 days a week) all at the same time. I can get SO much done:) Am I a bad mom?
Jenni- I am right there with you, only my first born is graduating from high school and MOVING OUT of my HOUSE! Talk about bittersweet. Everything is more emotional with the first one. You are perfectly and wonderfully normal!
ps.your little graduate IS as cute as punkin pie!!
Aubrie looks so old in that little cap and gown! How cute are you guys to do all of that for Joy School Gradutaion. Aubrie is really lucky to have a mom like you!
