I was so nervous. Would he be okay without me? Would he know who to ask if he needed something? Would he go peepee in the potty?
That first day was so hard. Watching my baby get out of the car with his little backpack on his back ... not really knowing what to do or where to go. He stopped half way down the side walk and just stood there. I wanted to get out of my car (we drop them off in the circle) and run over and lead my baby into the building. Then Pastor Tony took him by the hand and led him into the preschool.
I was in tears. It was hard.
These days, he's ready for Ms. Jennifer to get him out of the car. He runs down the sidewalk into the preschool. He's soooo ready for his day to begin.
He has learned so much.
He has made so many new friends.
He has gained independence.
He has gained confidence.
He has learned rules.
He has learned songs.
He learned new words.
He has learned to play better with others.
He is learning to write his name.
He loves being recognized for a job well done.
He has experienced things such as his first children's program performance, singing in front of an audience. He's had homework. He road on a tractor and chose a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. He participated in his first charitable event by raising funds for the St. Jude Children's hospital Trike-A-Thon. He hunted Easter eggs with his class at the Easter egg hunt.
Today will be his last day of preschool in the three-year-old program. And then tonight he will perform in his final children's singing performance for this school year.
I'm so proud of Griffin.
He's my heart. He's my joy. He's my life.

Isn't that something! They grow up fast, but it's so much fun to watch them on their journey!
Your brought tears to my eyes. I can remember Wade and Scott's first days. It is amazing to watch them learn and grow....and it never stops. Next year will be more firsts and more learning and more of Mommy having a hard time letting go. But you have the summer to look forward to.
Good job Griffin! And good job Mommy for making it through that transitional stage at the beginning of the year! You guys are such a cute family and I know Griffin must know how proud you are to be his mom.
Awe...you brought tears to my eyes. He is growing up, Girl! Such a well rounded little man.
