My Graduate

The time has come....Pre-K Graduation!!!
Wow...I can't believe it's here already. Such an achievement and milestone. Just another notch in Marcus's education belt buckle. Just the beginning...he has come so far but yet so far to go.

Marcus has really enjoyed his time at Academy Kids. We both have made friends and lots of memories. So many fun times...we are going to miss it!

Marcus has grown so much these past few years. I remember walking him in the doors his first day..crying for mommy but then at the end of the day not wanting to leave. He loved it after just one day. Learning to play with others, new words, colors, shapes, ABCs, counting, all the way to writing his complete name and phonics. His teachers have been wonderful. Each one was a joy and blessing. He has had his favorites along the way and still talks about them to this day. Year by year he has grown more independent and building his own personality. Everyone involved to this point has contributed in one way or another. He would not be the same if those encounters had been missed.

I am so excited to see how he transforms this next year. He will work parts of his brain he has never used before. He will be open to all new friendships and memories. He is going to do great just as he has done already.

Tomorrow is a day of joy with an undertone of sadness. I am losing my baby and gaining a young boy who heads off into the world with a new sense of independence and knowledge. As if the gradutation isn't enough, we head straight to enroll him in Kindergarten. All in one day...can anyone say TISSUES!!!!!

Way to go Marcus! I am so proud of your accomplishments.
