KINDERGARTEN CELEBRATION

Yesterday I went to Colby's Kindergarten Celebration, I had taken the day off of work and made sure I was at the school on time.

When I got to the school, I checked in at the front office along with a long line of other parents. I found my seat in Colby's classroom and as the kids entered my eyes found Colby right away. As his eyes wandered around the room trying to find me, it sent chills over me, he was getting so big, yet still my "baby boy". Knowing I was going to be there, he was eagerly looking for me and didn't stop till he found me and the grin he showed was so overwhelming I practically broke down right there.

The program consisted of three "silly" songs picked by the class, an alphabet story about all the things that had learned in Kindergarten (Colby was "Z"), presentation of his "diploma" and then it was parent participation. We spread out around the room and the kids taught us a couple of songs and dances that went along with them. I don't think I have ever done anything like this before with any of my kids, I had so much fun and laughed so hard that it was emotional for me. I teared up so quickly that afternoon.

When the program was over, Colby gave me his "baby eyes" and asked if I would take him home with me. How can any mother say no to beautiful blue eyes? We went home and just hung out. It was a wonderful Tuesday, no worries and just consumed by my child. Celebrating Colby and all of his accomplishments!
