Today marks JW's last day of kindergarten. It was an uphill battle full of challenges for all of us. Days following my last post we were tested each morning before school. I'll never forget the dreadful day they had to pull him off of me kicking, crying and drag him into the building. Other days the battle would start before heading out the door - "I'm not going". Shoes would disappear and suddenly no where to be found. Moodiness was at an all time high and it seemed to go on forever.
It was a team effort at home and at school with his wonderful Kindergarten teachers. It took reassurance from all of us that it was all going to be okay. That his day was what he made of it. He had to decide to have a good day.
He's grown so much since those difficult weeks starting Kindergarten. He's grown into a little boy with a big heart for his friends, a love for learning new things, and a sense of pride in all he's accomplished leading up to today. A day that has brought back that same knot in my stomach. He's had such a memorable year and grown so much. Even he was nervous this morning knowing it was his last day. A big thank you to his teachers! Especially Mrs. Rachel who took the time to listen and support him through it all.
We are so very proud of our first born!!
