Ben's last day of preschool

This guy was eager to get to school this morning to see his friends and teachers and to finish a few last projects before their big Creativity Celebration/graduation this evening. 

He gets a little sad when we talks about the school year coming to an end. He keeps saying he's going to miss his school, his friends and his teachers. I love how important this part of his life is to him and how much he has learned and grown over the past two years. Roots + Wings is a special place and I'm so glad our children were and are able to be part of such a wonderful community of educators, mentors, friends and families.

 the last time he will wave goodbye and blow me kisses from this window. Tear.

 Ben and Ginger

and his buddy Eli...these two have been buddies for awhile (since both their older brothers went here before them.)

As sad as I am for this chapter to close,  I am equally excited and ready for Ben to enter kindergarten. I hope his sweet spirit and kind heart remains pure and his love of life and all those around him is greeted with open arms. He has so much to give!

and next year...I'll be dropping this cutie off.

and she's ready!
