So, another milestone is coming up. My baby boy is “graduating”...his first of I hope many graduations. It's not even preschool. It's pre pre school. He won't wear a gown or graduate magna cum laude, but nonetheless I am certain I will cry as I swell with pride. There are so many “firsts”. Things that we as adults may take for granted...moments of pure innocence as a child learns about the world. My brother told me how awesome it was to see his daughter discover her shadow for the first time. There is a wonderful quote about this:
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.
~ Rachel Carson
To see things as a kid and be in that moment is simply amazing. We are too busy many times in our adult lives to savor these moments and memories.
Back to graduation. It is an accomplishment, just like learning to ride a bicycle or jump off the diving board.
I knew I would cry, at least shed a tear. It didn't take long- just a look at the program...I choked up.
So, take the time to discover with your kids the world around you-- you may learn something new along the way.
CONGRATULATIONS BABY BOY – We love you more than words can say. We hope to be the best parents we can for you, that you grow up confident, giving, loving and happy.
