kindie no more

sweet pea had a little performance and pizza party for the last day of school.  as magical as kindergarten has been, he was ready to get out of there and start summer break.  for me the last day was as bittersweet as the first.  while we were gathering up all of his papers from the classroom, another little boy said..."i saw you crying when we were doing the flower dance."  they were happy tears because everyone had grown up so much.  that little class of kindies was amazing.  so sweet to each other.  so much kindness and love.  so much compassion and diversity.  i wish i could put all those blooming flowers in a mason jar on my kitchen table.  just scoop up their innocence and save it forever.
