Bye bye A Place to Grow

Today is Pepe's last day at A Place to Grow. We got gift cards and donuts this am, and made some cards for the teachers. it was a good place for Pepe but it is time to move on. I confess I am sad. I don't like transitions, and every transition means that Pepe is getting older. I do like to see him developing into his own self, and I like his independence, but I do miss the times when he was happily sitting in my arms. Now he almost never does that. I remember my mom telling me when Pepe was born, "enjoy it now, coz when they turn 4 they are not *yours* anymore". Well, Pepe is only 3 and I am already discovering that.

Pepe was all happy this am, as he has no idea that this is his last day at his old school. Oh, except when it was time to go, and he started screaming that he does not want to go...the usual. I hope he'll look forward to going to school when he starts the new one.
