Ethan's Preschool Graduation

Ethan's 1st Day of Preschool

Ethan's Last day of Preschool

Look at how much older and grown-up he looks just 9 months later!

Ethan had his preschool graduation last week. It is bittersweet to see my oldest grow up! It makes me sad that I no longer have a son who is toddler but I have a little boy. I sometimes look at him and am shocked at what I see. This past year I have seen such a big change in Ethan he is no longer the shy, quiet little guy that he was. He now is a 5 year old who is beginning to read, becoming independent, takes care of his sister, and sings and talks in front of everyone at church. And he has grown out of an entire size of clothes. I am excited for kindergarten. I loved school when I was little, and spent all of college learning about teaching and so I am excited to see Ethan learn, grow, and develop socially and academically. Both Ethan and I will miss Mrs. Cathy and am so thankful for all that she did for Ethan.

Ethan really is a special child. Occasionally, he has his moment but they are very few and far between. He is so smart and can already read a level 1 kindergarten book with almost no help. He is so kind that he takes care of Ciara and has sooooo much patience with her. He knows the scripture stories as well as we do. He says the sweetest, most heart felt prayers. He just amazes me! Even when I am harder on him then I should be or when I have lost my patience with him it never changes the sweet spirit that he has.
