Gloomy Morning

Today is Benny's last day of pre-school. We were so excited for today, he went to school in his PJ's with his pillow and blanky for a movie day... the last hoorah. Then it hit me as I was driving him there- this is my last preschooler. It was a combination of the rain, Benny's excitement to move on and looking back at him realizing he's growing up. I stayed strong until I kissed him goodbye at the door of his school. I got in my car and wept the whole entire way home. I'm sad today. There is a part of me that doesn't want my kids to grow up, and they are... too fast. I remember how everyone told me this would happen and yeah yeah I thought, but how true it is. I miss my "babies".


So today after school Benny and I are going to go have a special lunch to celebrate the ending of a chapter and beginning of new adventures. I will stay strong...
