Last day of pre-school!

Today marks the end of Will's 1st little pre-school experience, possibly career (I haven't decided if I'll send him next year...I may leave him home with Maggie, baby3 and I or find somewhere closer). Anyway, I nearly cried as we were pulling away at the end of the day. I know change and growth are parts of life, but endings are usually sad for me, at least for a little while. He has lots of years of school left, but none of them will be like his first year of pre-school.

He had a really good last day: the teachers provided pizza for the kids and Mrs. Cheri brought cookies. Will is so sweet that he ate one of his "rainbow sparkle" cookies (sprinkles) and saved the other for Maggie. He really gave it to her when she woke up from her nap too, melt my heart. :) We brought Mrs. Cheri a gift since it's the last day and this is also teacher appreciation week but she also sent Will home with a gift and he loves it! As soon as he got in the car he was talking about the green basket and how you can put toys in it and bring it to the beach or to the pool- the basket came with a cute, embroidered towel. I love seeing and hearing him so excited, one of my favorite things.

After school I let Will decide what special treat he wanted to celebrate/mark his last day of school and he chose a shake from Chick-Fil-A. He took a few drinks of the shake and was ready for the play room where he met a really cool friend named Ben. How do I know he was so cool? Because he was wearing a Transformers shirt and liked Will's Hulk shirt. They exchanged these compliments before even introducing themselves, ha! Daniel is working from home this week because he has poison ivy so Maggie was home napping...just me and little man out for a treat. I so rarely get these moments, so I just soaked it up.
