Sometimes I forget it's been six years since I gave birth to my first child, because it feels like yesterday. It feels like his life just begun a couple days ago. Didn't he just take his first steps? Say his first words?... So, how can he be graduating Kindergarten?
"Enjoy it. They grow up fast." Everyone advised me, but I didn't realize HOW fast, until yesterday morning, when I watched my first born finish his last day of Kindergarten. Although, I was there for every milestone, I feel like I missed something. I feel like I blinked at some point in his life and missed something important. I don't see how in just six short years my baby could have become so great, accomplished so much, and developed such an amazing personality. Six years seems so short to me. Way too short for an infant to grow into a child who can read, write and do basic math. And far too brief for him to have matured into such a responsible, trustworthy young man.
But here he is... My Kindergarten graduate on his first and then his last day of Kindergarten.
I wish I could take all the credit for how amazing Skywalker is, but I can't. I may have taught him to clean up after himself and to say please and thank you, but it was his first teacher, his kindergarten teacher who taught him to read and to add and subtract.
Thank you Mrs. W for making such a positive impact in Skywalker's future.
