I've got growth on the mind today. It was Emma's last day of preschool. Of course, the moms were all sobbing and the kids were pinging off the wall, excited about Kindergarten. I made a card for her teachers with pictures from the first and last day of school, last year and this. She has gone from the tiniest kid in school to one of the leaders of the pack. Again, amazing. Tomorrow I sign her up for kindergarten. One of my friends will be watching George so that Emma and I can have some time together. She won't understand the significance (just like she couldn't understand why tears were leaking out from under my sunglasses as we drove away from school today), but I do. My first born is starting to leave the nest. I know I've got many years to go, but I have to start now. It will take me that long to get used to the idea. Who am I kidding? Like I'll get used to it! Yeah, right.

You never get used to it and my eyes are leaking!
Just to let you know, teachers feel the same way! I get choked up about some of my seniors graduating. I've taught them for 4 years so I feel a lot like their parents. Letting them grow and go is such a hard thing to do.
I'm feeling the same way. It's good to know I'm not alone!
Lovely card. Drake starts preschool in the fall. I'm looking forward to it, but I am not looking forward to it.
It is sad. They are constantly changing and growing... I find just when I've got one stage figured out, my kids move onto the next stage. What a beautiful card you made, love the quote.
Beautiful card! I can only look on and sympathize. It astonishes me when I look at my nieces and nephews and think how they've grown. But it's not the same emotion a mom feels.
Awwww,thats so sweet. I wish I had done something like that! My dd is soooo excited about kindergarden. I'll definitely have to do a LO like yours for that!
It is always sad to realize that your baby is growing up. Even though Z is my granddaughter, I still feel a tug at my heartstrings each time a school year ends.
