This is going to be another one of those sappy, I can't believe we did actually get to see this day posts. I seem to be having a lot of them these days. That is probably because there is so little news these days that I get to talk about the good stuff. I wonder when I will stop feeling amazed that we got to see them happen, though.
Today, Max graduated from Kindergarten. I am not really one for all of these "graduations" from everything. It seems like there are graduations from everything these days, and I don't remember it being like that when we were children. Heck, my high school barely 
acknowledged that we graduated, figuring that the "real thing" was going to be when we graduated from college. So, I have kind of been brushing off the significance of the day. However, it really moved me. My little boy graduated from kindergarten today. He was so happy and proud. All the children were. The school did an actual program, with the kids marching in, performing some songs, including one in Spanish, and receiving "diplomas." How I managed to get through it without crying is beyond me, though it helped that Lauren was enjoying things so much so I was focussing on keeping her from running up to hug Max or grabbing her friend Nathan to dance to the music. James slept through it all. :) He is going off to prefirst next year. I know I talked about trying to figure out what to do. I think it is the right thing for him. I remember, before he got sick, hoping that he would be this amazing student. How I have changed. I want him to be successful, but it is so much more important to me that he enjoy learning and enjoy school. He certainly enjoyed it this year. May next year be the same.
