Our Last Day with an Awesome Preschooler

Today is Collin's LAST day of preschool!!!!

We now have a Kindergartner!  We have been trying to explain to him that he will now have summer vacation with Mitchell and Mommy (eventually with Mommy....someday soon I hope).  The idea of this many stay home days in a row has brought about many lengthy question/answer sessions.

This will be the FIRST time we have had NO full time daycare since late 2004.  And while the road to caring and appropriate daycare options was sometimes a rocky one early on with Mitchell....we have been blessed with both boys and ALL of Collin's daycare providers/preschool teachers.  So today we salute Keena (Mitchell first babysitter and our first daycare experience ever), and Patty who took care of our never- all-that- little oldest.  For both boys we say a wonderful heartfelt thank you to the amazing Kelly Bellindir who loved both boys so much and was Collin's first home away from home when Mommy went back to work.  To Melody Padgett for her calm, caring and nurturing ways with both boys during their preschool years and to Tami and Yescenia for helping Collin prepare these last few months for his journey to Kindergarten in the fall.  We appreciate all each of you have done for our boys!!!

For his last day of preschool, Collin also "had" to wear a shirt that was "awesome".  Yesterday we had a long debate about the shirt I had out for him to wear because it was not "awesome" according to him.  I talked to him about that fact that he was awesome and therefore every shirt he wears is also awesome....but there was limited buy in to this on his part.  I'm sensing a new approach to the way apparel is picked out for Collin each day in the near future.....however, here is to an AWESOME LAST day of preschool!!!
