Preschool



Jacob graduated from preschool in May and we were so proud of him. I can't believe how much he has learned and changed. The first day he went he didn't want me to leave. I stayed for his first class sitting on the shoe bench so he could see me. The second time he went he cried but agreed to let me sit in the hallway (which I did). On the third time I could not find a babysitter for Zach so he said it would be okay if I waited outside in the car and I did. I felt so bad when he would cry for me not to go, I didn't think anything could be worse. Then he stopped crying for me not to go. At first I was so proud of him because he was being so brave and one day he said I didn't even need to walk him down the stairs. He said he didn't need me at preschool anymore, that felt worse. All the sudden it hit me that he will not need me forever and the days of him crying for me not to leave him are numbered. I think the first time he went in by himself and didn't look back I sat in the car and cried, I did feel better though when I came to pick him up and he ran and gave me a big hug and said he missed me, I missed him too.
Jake was lucky enough to have his cousin Ben and his best friend Kambria in his class.


This is Jake and Kambria when they had their cowboy/cowgirl day
For the mothers picnic they went to willow park and it was so much fun to see the kids play.


Jacob Loved teacher Valerie and teacher Mandy. They were both so great and loving and we will miss them so much.
The Graduation was so cute and the kids did great.

I love, love, love his graduation picture! What a little angelic little boy! You know what's scary? Thinking how fast he came to this point. Before you know it he will be graduating high school, then college! It freaks me out:)
