Great Beginnings, sad endings

Friday was Alex's last day at Great Beginnings. :( It was really hard to leave; we have really grown to love that place and all the teachers there. They have taught Alex soooo much over the past year! I wish there was a way we could keep him enrolled there, it was a great fit for us. Funny because I was so nervous and uneasy about sending him to a public daycare to begin with. They  definitely changed the way I thought about daycares though. I would recommend that place to anyone.

I was determined to make it out of there without crying but ummmmm, yeah that didn't happen. I was fine until we went to pick him up that last day. His teacher, Ms. Michelle, has become really attached to alex and started tearing up as she was giving us all his stuff which of course set me off too, and then it was pretty much Bawlfest 2013 for both of us. Even Lenny got a little choked up. Just sad that Alex won't see any of his lil friends anymore and sad that ms Michelle and the other teachers won't see him anymore either. 

I found this cute poem online that was absolutely PERFECT for the occasion. On Alex's last day, we gave his 5 teachers (3 past teachers from the infant room and 2 current teachers from the toddler room) a little gift with this poem attached. Miss them already!
