Milestones

My little baby is growing up. And I'm coming to terms with it....or not. Today, Regan will "graduate" from preschool and I just know I'm going to be a puddle in the middle of the auditorium when she sings with her classmates about growing up, all she's learned and that wonderful statement "Kindergarten, here we come!" Oh heavens. What happened to my baby girl?
Before Regan was born, we searched and searched for the right daycare provider. Having swore we found the best, she set out into a home daycare at the wee age of 4 months. Let's just say, sometimes the best needs a little tweaking. After 2.5 years, we moved her with ease to her current school and our only regret is not enrolling her sooner!
The amount of information that her 3,4,5 year old brain has received (and retained!) is unbelievable. From letters, to reading sight words, and numbers, to adding and subtracting, there is no doubt that she has learned more through her school than she would have in her former daycare. (Now you know why we feel so fortunate!). She is blessed to be around licensed teachers 3 full days/week: licensed! Singing, dancing, Spanish, social skills, consequences and respect. But more than we are proud of her, she is proud of herself. She is confident, makes friends easily and one happy little girl.
Congratulations Regan! We are so proud of you.
