My daughter had her Kindergarten graduation last week and it was adorable and heart-breaking all at the same time. It seems like this year went by so fast I can’t even process that it’s over or that she’ll be in first grade in the fall.
I looked back on old photos and videos from when she was little, you know, to torture myself, and I just cried. How did it go by so fast?
The celebration they did was adorable – all of the kids got up and spoke at a microphone, they sang – it was very cute and well-organized. I loved her teacher this year, she was equal parts strict and loving. You can tell she loves her job and goes above and beyond the call of duty. I hope that when Kylie goes to Kindergarten, she will have that teacher.
So Mackenzie is on summer break until August, which unfortunately will be here before we know it. It’s such a conflicting feeling for me, as I think it is for most parents. Part of me is excited to see her grow and learn new things. The other part wants to stop time and remember the cute little voice she had when she was a baby with crazy curly hair.
But, Mackenzie, if you ever get the opportunity to read this – I want you to know how incredibly proud I am of you. You are beautiful inside and out and I know you will continue to do amazing things. I love you to the moon and back.
