• Changes

  Have I mentioned I'm not a big fan of change? We're smack in the middle of a milestone for Zachary (and the rest of us too).

  Friday was Zach's last day as a daycare kid. I think it's was harder on Mommy than Zachary. Zach's been there since he was 5 months old. And they've taken great care of my little guy. Slowly over the summer several of his "classmates" (kids that again have been there since they were infants) have left. When Zachary's friend LeAnna left last month I think it was the mommies that were closer to tears than the kids. (Of course Lisa and I understood that with their move to another part of that state, it wasn't likely that the "bestest friends" would see each other again.) Yesterday we said goodbye to everyone else. 

  And of course it was Mommy who was all choked up as we drove home. It doesn't help that they are moving  the daycare into another building right now too. The one they've been in for umpteen years (certainly much longer than my boys have been there) is being torn down. So things are starting to look empty inside and outside they've torn up part of the playground and walkway to take core samples for the new condo building that's to take it's place. That didn't help my frame of mind much either.

  The preK teacher always lets kids wear a crown on their birthday and their last day in her classroom. Here's Zach in his crown once we got home. Across the front it says "We will miss you Zachary".

  

  And I'm really being a bit overly dramatic. Nathan will be back in his classroom at the same daycare next week and Zach will still go to the afterschool class every Friday afternoon. But there are some kids in his class (like his good buddy Evan) that will be leaving the Y once they start school.

  But it's still the end of Zachary's stint as a daycare kid.

  Beginning tomorrow he'll officially be a school kid! Even if it is only morning kindergarten.
