Yesterday was Tae’s last day of preschool. It was a hard day for me. I am not good with goodbyes and to me this was a definite goodbye. It was bitter sweet and while Tae did really well, I think I cried about 4 or 5 times. It is the end of a chapter for my girl, time to move on to new exciting adventures. I know I have mentioned my deep love for her school, and it is just that, a deep love. The place is amazing and I will never find another school like it. Baby will definitely go there when the time comes. It is hard to find a place that you can take your child and feel that the teachers will love and nurture them as you would. It is hard to find a place that you can drop off your child and not feel the need to go “check” on how your he/she is being treated. It falls in the ‘takes a village to raise a child’ category; the teachers have literally helped us raise Tae for the last two years. N and I were talking about how they have spent almost as much time with her as we have over the 2 years,
developmentally important time. They are a part of who she is, and I love that! She is a beautiful, bright, loving girl and we are so proud of her. I know they will miss her, just as we will miss them. Bitter sweet...
The bright, compassionate, hugging machine known as Tae is also about to turn
FIVE…talk about emotional turmoil for Mom. She had her birthday walk at school on Thursday since she won’t be at school on the actual day. I love the birthday walk, I think it is beautiful. On a child’s B-Day they bring in a few pictures from each year of their life. The child walks around the circle showing the pictures to their classmates. This year I included this picture…
... Tae didn’t recognize herself. This is her two years ago on her first day of school. Time is flying!
The Birthday Walk....
Here are the cupcakes I made for T to share with her class. I wanted them to be special, turning FIVE and completing a chapter of growth is a HUGE deal. I wanted to honor that. My mom use to make these ice cream cupcakes for me when I was little. I have been waiting to make them for Tae.
