Good-Bye Kindergartener

Tonight, Alex's teacher had a slide show for the parents. A collage, a power-point presentation put together of photos she took throughout the year. The field trips, Halloween, Christmas, their 100th day party, the leprechaun traps, their 5th grade buddies, and sunny days on the playground.

Not a dry eye.

The year has flown, Alex has grown almost 2 inches in height and immeasurably in maturity (really, I'm confident that part will show up any day now). Eight days left of his Kindergarten year, and I don't know where the time went when he was getting bigger. He's been a good learner, a good friend, a good kid. Another first of his has gone by. I can't even believe it, my heart is so heavy.

I love watching them grow. It's so, so hard to do.
