Easter Party & Last Day of School {cue the tears}

 

It feels like just yesterday I wrote about Easton's first day of school. 

 

And now, 3 years later, I'm writing about his last.

Friday was his Easter party at school.

What better way to go out than with a party!?

Complete with the Easter Bunny, cupcakes and cookies!

It's a shame The Mother couldn't hold her tears back the entire time...

 

 

Most of the kids in his class have been there from the start just like him.  If not, very soon thereafter.

We don't have a conversation most days without it including most of these friends.

They are the sweetest group of kids a mom could ever want for her child's friends.

It was a very hard decision to move him to a new school, and one I debated for MONTHS.

We commuted an hour and fifteen minute each day, one way.  This is hard on him, and me.

So, when we moved into the new house, we knew we'd move him to a closer school, but that didn't make it any easier for me.

 

This group of Directors and Teachers have been absolutely amazing.  From the first day we toured the facility, even now that we're gone, they are truly some of the best friends I could ask for.  They love Easton as if he were there own.  They have answered numerous phone calls from me, his detail loving mother, wondering how much breast milk he'd drank, if he'd had a BM, how he'd napped, the list goes on.  They have listened, they have talked,  they've supported, they have loved, they have hugged and they have cried with me.  To say I'll miss these girls is major understatement. 

 

 

There really is not enough words or sentiment strong enough to say how strongly I feel about this group. Directors, Teachers & Little Friends. They will be missed every day!

 

A sweet little song Aunt Janice sang the other day was:

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
the other is gold.

That's exactly how we're looking at this new chapter.

Keeping the old, but making new too.  Both are a treasure!
