Kindergarten Graduation

I am getting to the point where something happens, like I look at some old pics, one of my kids asks "how old are you", or most recently my first born graduates from Kindergarten, when I realize I am getting old!!  I have never made a big deal about age, and I still don't think turning 30 is a big deal, I just don't feel it.  Maybe it's not supposed to feel like anything! Well I am pretty sure the day you hit 30, you don't feel dramatically different and if you do, it's all in your head! Anyway, the point of this post is to celebrate the fact that Aiden finished his first year of school, and did so well. (ugh, I will soon have a first grader)  When we first started off the year I was very hesitant and nervous.  Aiden didn't go to preschool or day care or tend to leave my sight for more than a few hours (once in a blue moon), so the thought of dropping him off at school Monday through Friday for 6 hours a day to spend the day by himself, frightened me just slightly. (he was one of the few, if not the only, that didn't attend any type of school prior to Kindergarten in his class)  Well, the fear quickly disappeared more and more each day when he came home sharing the things he learned and excited to return to school the next day. It also helped that his teacher reassured me often how great he was doing and she was surprised that he had no prior schooling.  I have to admit, it makes a mama proud!!! Here is a picture on the day he graduated with his teacher Mrs. Penoyer....btw.. Loved her, couldn't of asked for a better teacher, we will truly miss her!!!
