A Mother's Reflection

I just had to share this beautiful and reflective post by Brenna Taylor, our very own Kindermusik parent at Musikandmotion. By the way, Brenna started her own blog in hopes of keeping a diary of her and her daughter's home schooling journey this year:

"So last Friday was our little girl's preschool graduation. The "ceremony" was short and sweet. The kids performed a song for us, each child gave his or her mom a flower, the diplomas were handed out, and each child received a candy lei.

When we left the park the four of us went to Julia's FAVORITE place for lunch, Sizzler. We ate lunch and let her open a couple of presents. I think her favorite was a super big box of Crayola crayons with build-in sharpener (96 count!). Yesterday she used her new crayons and I was amazed that so far she has been able to read the color of each one she has pulled out of the box (sea green, spring green, etc).

So now my first born's preschool career is over. Gone are the days of pulling her sobbing, clingy body off of me (until the first couple of weeks of Kindergarten!) to leave her with her teacher. Gone are the days sitting by the phone in case her teacher should call saying that she had an accident, or worse yet, to come get this wild kid and take her home. No more bullying the boys at school or bringing home all her art projects and drawings (from preschool). The last two and a half years have gone by quick and she has grown in many, many ways..."

Brenna, I wish you and Julia all the best and look forward to reading more of your home schooling journey ahead!

Congrats,
Miss Sunny
