So Long, Preschool

Sticky fingers, runny noses,

Head, shoulders, knees and toes-es;

Shapes and colors, ABCs,

Taking turns and 123s.

Toothless smiles, hugs, and giggles,

Circle time and lots of wiggles;

Wooden blocks and dress-up clothes,

Learning how a flower grows. 

 

Milk and cookies, first-time friend,
Thinking days like these won't end;
Preschool done before you know it,
No one sadder than this poet.

Like a butterfly, time has flown,
You have learned and you have grown;
Tiny chairs give way to desks,
Book reports and spelling tests.

 

So take off now, spread your wings,

Soar to new heights, learn new things;
Just remember as you do,
Someone's very proud of you.

Raleigh, the time has come! And you, my girl, could not be more ready, better prepared, nor more excited to begin kindergarten. I am not sure how this day has arrived so quickly, but you have transformed from a quiet and shy 2s-class-preschooler to a confident and effervescent preschool graduate. We are SO proud of you, sweet girl. On to our next adventure, together!

With All My Heart,

Momma
