As much as I long for the long, lazy, and warm days of summer, the fast approach of those days brings the annual frightening realization that yet another school year is coming to end. Another year of my childrens' innocent childhood is slipping away before my eyes.
As much as I enjoyed the 2 hours that Cole was gone at preschool, the conclusion of it is bitter sweet. Tears of joy that he made it through without getting kicked out and tears of sadness that he is old enough to be through preschool and movin' on up to the big sky of Kindergarten. We were fortunate enough to have one of the most wonderful preschool teachers ever, Teacher Summers. She is a wonderful, kind and loving person that had such a positive influence on my little Cole and the rest of her 30+ kids she taught.
She holds a graduation ceremony each year for her graduating preschoolers. The ceremony includes a well rehearsed program, a graduation diploma and video of the year that brings me to tears each time I see it.
Summer will be here and gone before I can get a grip on it and we will be in school mood once again. I am excited for Cole to move on and experience the joys of Kindergarten. He is so excited to go to school with his brother and sister. I am just wondering why time seems to speed up with each year. I am wondering why these times can't be longer in duration. Maybe I could talk to Father Time and ask for a slower clock in my life. I am always in desperate need of 3 to 4 more hours in my day. Wishful thinking I know......
