I might fall apart at preschool graduation
I'm normally the kind of person that can keep my emotions in check, but I can't even think about preschool graduation without crying. There is a 99% chance I am going to ugly cry tomorrow as dd is singing "kindergarten here I come". This whole going off to kindergarten thing is affecting me way more than I ever imagined. Did anyone else turn into an emotional fool at preschool graduation? I can't even imagine what I will be like on the first day of kindergarten.
Re: I might fall apart at preschool graduation
I held it together for most of the ceremony, I was so proud of myself....but then they ran a photo slideshow/montage of all the kids set to Sarah McLachlan's "I will remember you" and I lost all composure.

I did get teary thinking about EJ being done with pre-k... but I kept reminding myself she was still there all summer. hahaha. The idea of K was a lot to adjust to for me. Maybe because she is an only child? She is nearly done with her year of K now and it has been awesome. So don't morn the end of the preschool years, try to look forward to the fun that comes next!
Now she only has a few weeks of daycare left (we are hiring a local girl to watch her through the summer) and that may be weird leaving there for the last time.
I've gotten a little choked up at the end of the year party, but there is thankfully no pre-k graduation. I got a little ready dropping off H for the first day of K, but she had a friend there, so I was nicely distracted by that friend's mom. :-)
K is AWESOME. I think T will love it and I can't wait until both kids can read! :-)
It is an unbelievable thing, watching these buggers grow up and move on to the next stage, but I agree with Amanda that it;s so fun to see what's next and to watch them grown and learn!
We didn't do a traditional preschool, rather it was daycare, so there was no big to-do when we moved on. Kindergarten had a nice end-of-year Mass with a slide show I wasn't expecting - that brought some tears from all, since it showed how much they grew in one year. It's an exciting time!
My three sons!
What got me was towards the end of summer. Dd had been at this daycare since she was 12 weeks old and with the same group of girls since the infant room. A couple weeks before K was supposed to start, dd's favorite teacher left and so some of the kids (including dd) left too. I seriously started weeping at daycare the day I told the director we were leaving early! I loved that place and it was a huge part of our lives.
I also cried the first day of K. I was fine until I put her on the bus. But once the doors closed and it drove off I started crying! It was so strange!
So my experience was that I didn't cry when I expected I would but it hit me at other times!
