The "Weep Fest" Begins....

*Warning* Emotion Overload*

Creative title...Don't you think? I am serious when I make the above statement...It started last night with Cade's End of School Program....I honestly can NOT believe that my little guy is getting ready to go into Kindergarten...Where has the time gone??? His Pre-school this year has been the best thing EVER!! He started off the year very clingy, scared, a "mommy's boy", (not a bad thing), and he has graduated Pre-school...very independent, secure in himself, and very smart...He is reading...I am SO proud of him....Mrs. Fuller is one of the Best teachers my kids have ever had...and all 3 of them have been blessed by having her in the early years of their education...I am just thankful that they each have had such a wonderful, precious lady to help guide them in their preschool, and kindergarten years....I feel a tear coming on again....

The program last night was so good...All of the kids did a phenomenal job...They did the pledge of allegiance, and Cade got to hold the flag....and then they sang a number of songs that they have learned this year....One of the ones that gets me every time...is a song about graduating from Pre-school, and moving on to Kindergarten...and learning "Bigger Numbers, and Bigger Words"...It kills me every time!! Cade loves to be on stage, just like Macey...so he thoroughly enjoyed every minute of stage time....The next thing they did was recite a number of nursery rhymes that they learned and acted them out...TOO CUTE!! Cade was Jack, in Jack and Jill...How convenient...since he loves rolling and falling down hills...The part fit him perfect and everyone laughed when he "performed" his role!! Once they finished the nursery rhymes, Mrs. Fuller handed out carnations to each child, and they came down off the stage and gave one to each of their mothers....Yes....I cried...again....

After the program, Mrs. Fuller presented the class with awards...There were many different awards, best singer, best dancer, block builder, but Cade got the award of "Best Puzzle Worker"....Great Job, Mr. Cade!! He climbed right up on Mrs. Kerns lap for a picture with her...She was Mrs. Fullers aid...and she is a wonderful teacher too....We have been so blessed....We had a great time this year sharing the life of our precious little guy with such a wonderful teacher and friend....Cade is growing up...this is part of life, I realize...It is sad in a way, but so exciting to think of what a wonderful person he is going to become....

This is the words that were printed in the program to one of the songs the kids sang....

We are going to make this summer the best one ever....(as I wipe a tear from my cheek)
