Goodbye Preschool

I am struggling with the fact that R is done with preschool today.  How did she get so old?  Today is actually her graduation, and I am sure that I will have pictures to post later.  As sad as I am that she is growing up so fast, I am very excited for her today.  She has been practicing for graduation and, according to her teachers, she could be the director of the play.  R knows all of the lines for all of the children and also knows exactly where the children should be standing on stage; she has been very helpful to her classmates and teachers.  She is so ready for Kindergarten - she is, I am not.  I will be though; there may be lots of tears between preschool graduation, Kindergarten orientation, and the first day of school, but I am going to do my best to smile because I am so proud of R.  I'm not sure how often people say this about their five year old children, but I want to be more like R.  She is nurturing, loving, friendly, outgoing, adventurous, funny, thoughtful, and just so sweet.  Oh, I love this little girl!
