Today is the last day of school for the 2013-2014 school year. I always get sad on the last day. Because that means they're growing up even more. I'm very nostalgic and it's hard for me to let go. It makes me sad that Caleb will be done with Kindergarten and Ethan will be done with 1st grade. It goes by so fast. They are sad too. Ethan is sad because he really loves school and doesn't want to say goodbye. Caleb is sad because he's scared of going into 1st grade and being with all the big kids and doing less arts and crafts. I don't blame him. Kindergarten is awesome and the best year.
When I asked what they were most excited about for this next year they said they're excited to play together on the big kid play ground. That just melted my heart. They really are best buds. It's hard at times having them so close in age. There is always competition between them but at the end of the day, they love each other and are best friends. I'm grateful for that. I got emotional this morning as all the 5th graders said goodbye to all the teachers. They give each one a hug. To think these teachers have watched these kids go from not knowing how to tie their shoe and write their name correctly to graduating! It was just too much. Teachers and students were both emotional. I try to cherish all the moments and memories I witness. Take homework as a fun thing when Caleb's homework is to write to 100. It won't always be like that and I want to treasure these special little years. I'm so proud of both of them and hate that they are growing way too fast. I need them to stay little. I hope they always have the same excitement about school and learning.
I just feel so emotional today and it's been hard for me to accept that they will grow up, way too fast, and I can't do anything about it but try to soak it all up. Each moment. I love these boys. They are my whole world.
