Mason's last day of preschool

Today was Mason's last day of 3 year old preschool.  We are going to miss Ms. Robyne and Ms. Lori so much and all those sweet little 3 year olds.  They had birthday celebrations today for all summer birthdays complete with cupcakes and ice cream, a moon bounce, pinata, goodie bags, birthday balloons and a decorated crown.  It was an over the top day.  Although I must admit how tough Tuesdays and Thursdays have been since January with a baby in the car for a total of 3 hours with commuting both boys in opposite directions, I will miss it very much.  So will Mason.  There is something so comforting about dropping your wee one off at church, in a Christian environment where they pray at snack and lunch time and talk about Jesus.  The best.  It was great for Mason to learn how to behave in a group setting, listen to teachers and follow directions and learn numbers/letters and even how to write his name.  He loved all the crafts too and the playground.  Snack friend and show and tell days and pizza days were special too.  When I arrived to pick him up today, he was wrapping with a humungous piece of tape his present for Father's Day.  Ms.  Lori said he did not want any help and just wanted to wrap all by himself.  That is Mason.  Independence and loves to wrap.  I was able to get a few pictures of M with his teahers and all the children doting over Regan once again.  When we left Ms. Lori said, "We will miss Mason so much.  He is so special inside and out and sweet."  I thanked them and asked how social he was in school.  They said he was very social and the perfect well rounded child.  He was great at socializing, working with others, independently and even his little temper she witnessed was funny and just Mason.  They said he is such a kind hearted/sweet child and will be missed greatly.  I left there so proud of my 3 year old buddy and could not believe how time has moved so suddenly.  Off to Montessori everyday for my 4 year old in the fall.  Crazy, excited but sad to see him go everyday.  He is my buddy and Regan's too. Change is hard and change is good.

  1. Forgot to mention that when I dropped Mason off at preschool the first day in January, he smiled, gave me a kiss and said goodbye like he had been doing it for a year. This made it much easier for me to say goodbye to him. I did shed a few tears walking away and driving home. He loved it. Day number 3 he cried but for 2 minutes and then never again. It was a very smooth adjustment. We hope 5 days of Montessori will be the same:).
