Today we joined our friends for a special play date to celebrate our Kindergartners to be. There were friends a plenty, cake, pizza...even diplomas and Pomp and Circumstance. Most importantly of all though were our guests of honor. Asha, Cami, Cooper, Saylor and Jolie are all headed off to begin one of many educational milestones, the Big K! All of us proud mommies stood beaming as we watched our babies (for most of us our first born) walk across the living room and accept their diploma...their ticket to the next step. As much time as we have spent preparing our children and ourselves for this big day, I know there will be many a tear shed as our little ones march off into the beginning of their 13 year public school journey on Monday morning. I know that when we leave them on that first day all of us will have thoughts of how much they have grown and how far they have come in such a short time. We will think back to those days when they were so tiny and helpless and marvel at how bright, independent and able they are. It is yet another reminder of how quickly time goes by. I have so many hopes and wishes for Cami and her friends. I wish them wisdom, patience and endurance to conquer the challenges they may face; grace in their success and the ability to dream and set goals to make their dreams come true. I hope that their friendships with each other endure and that new friendships formed are as strong and positive as those that they carry with them today. As for the mommies, Im sending up a prayer that we all get through Monday and all of the other big moments to come leaving our kiddos with warm hugs, proud smiles and a sense of secure knowledge that we will be there for them through it all. I cant wait to hear everyone's "Tales From The First Day". Im so glad that I have such wonderful friends to share these moments with.
