Asher's preschool graduation was tonight. His last day was today. He has been so excited for Kindergarten that he didn't even care about preschool anymore. Today after we got home he was in his room for awhile and he came out bawling. He said he missed Onda K. (his teacher). It almost made me cry too! Asher was so sad! Anyway, I told him it was okay because we would still see her next year when we took Hallie to school and with a baby on the way, we might see her a few years down the road. It made him feel a little better, but not much. So I told him he would get a great new teacher for Kindergarten and he could learn to love her like he did Onda K. It is so hard when good things change, but we can't be the same forever! I think just knowing it's not goodbye forever made him feel better. He was so cute doing the graduation march! Kids are funny no matter what they are doing. The girl he is with in the picture is named Abby. She is Asher's best friend at school and cried all week long because Asher will be going to school in Idaho Falls and not Ririe! They are a funny pair. Abby cut her own hair super short and her mom told her she would have to look like a boy for awhile. That made her upset and she was afraid that Asher wouldn't think she was cute anymore! They were inseparable at school. Too funny. Once in awhile you meet those people who really affect your life, and I know that Onda K. will be one of those people for my children. She wasn't just any preschool teacher. She truly loves and cares for each child and their well being. People think I'm crazy to drive to Ririe every day for preschool, but with a teacher like her, it's worth it.
