Preschool Graduation *PICS*

 Samara is all done with preschool. My little girl is growing up. I am so happy for her, they said last night this is not the end, but just the begining. It is for her. She has so much ahead of her.

I am so happy to see how far she has gone, and how much she has grown up unto this point. She is amazing and beauitful, and so smart. I cried yesterday. Not so much because I was sad, but I was overcome with so many emotions. Some of it the promise, some of it the unknown. Some of it being so proud she did it! Mainstreamed and did well. Some of it was sadness for me because she is growing up and my role as her mother is changing.

Watching her grow is a delight. It really is. I just wish sometimes I could slow it down and embrace each moment a little longer. 

As I was leaving her 2 year old teacher hugged me because I needed it. I love her and can not wait for Sabastian to go out there for her class. All their teachers are amazing. I wish they had elemntary school there as well. I am at a loss of where she is going for kindergarten. At the moment we are homeschooling. Because for as far as she has come acedmically, socially and emoitnally she is not quiet ready for public school. (especially because she would start with no iep because they have 60 school days to write one) 

 They had graduation last night. It was so sweet. They sang songs and got their diploma. She did well. A bit overwhlemed by the night in general. Her teacher warned me there might be an issue when the kids played instruments on stage, and I may need to get her. I watcher her body language, and i saw it coming. She went rigid and she crossed her arms. I walked up to the side of the stage, and got her off in a hurry. No problems. 

Travis came last night and I was happy he was there. baby man was amazing through it. he "talked" a bit through the program, but he was amazing. His mom came, and my parents and Bonnie. It was wonderful! Although because of my mom’s huge chair we are always have to sit seperatly. Crap really. 

Her teacher this year was amazing. She loves all her students where they are, not where she thinks they should be. I loved her and am sad she can’t travel with her. 

Samara is sad, she said she isn’t ready to graduate. I wasn’t either, but today is a new day and well adventure is out there!

It was too loud for her.
