So Long Daycare

Today I have a heavy heart. It is Simon's last day at daycare. He starts school next Tuesday.

I just spoke with his teachers, the director and assistant director on the phone and we exchanged tearful goodbyes. It touches me so much to see how much they genuinly care about Simon and all of the children. I will miss the security we had for the past three years where we knew every day that he was well taken care of and safe.

He's ready for big school. But I know there will be bumps in the transition. Simon is a creature of habit and has never transitioned very well. The good thing is that he is excited to start school and seems ready for the change. Let's hope he keeps that same attitude once things get going.

He was very proud to give out all the presents that we picked up this week. I know his teachers were sweet on some of the snacks that we'd pack for Simon over the years. I picked up some of their favourites to add to their gift bags since they won't be able to dive into his leftovers any more. The least I could do for these girls who helped raise my son for three years is hook em' up with some good snacks.

I need to continue pouting now.
