Growing up so fast...

My 5 year old is soon finishing Pre K and moving on to Kindergarten, man where did the year go?It seems like yesterday that I was signing him up for Pre-K. Crazy! What a great year it was. He along with his 16 class mates went to school 3 1/2 days a week. They learned their letters, numbers, to write their names, rhyme, draw real people ( with necks, belly's and even feet lol) They went on field trips to the local pizza shop,seniors home, grocery store, to a play, a nature walk and to the fire hall ( sat in a real fire truck and even witnessed what happens when there is a fire call). They learned about weather, days of the week, animals, airplanes, families, safety and so much more. I as a parent learned just as much. I learned that my son is capable of anything, he is extremely smart, talented, and needs to have time away from mom and dad. I learned just how special a teacher and friend can be to a child. I got to witness the pride in his eyes when he received his first valentine, birthday party invitation and his first special day at school. I got to watch him stand in front of an audience, along with his little classmates and sing his first Christmas songs at the Christmas Concert, and see his proud smile during  his graduation pictures. Ohhhh..... my boy is growing up.
