Graduation



I'm a bit late in adding this post because we have been experiencing technical difficulties in trying to get a new laptop up and running. Computer geniuses we are not.

Last Monday night Owen officially graduated from Adam Lamb Preschool. The build-up was quite something. Each day he would talk about how they had practiced and how much we were going to like it. He didn't disappoint. Owen walked in with his class and took his place in the front row. He looked so little and so big at the same time. Smiling from ear to ear while singing his songs or reciting his poem, I couldn't help but be proud at how far he has come. In true Sedita fashion, my eyes welled with tears as I watched him and thought about the road ahead.
Owen will begin kindergarten on his 5th birthday. The cut off is August 1 and his birthday is July 17. There are many schools of thought regarding the pros and cons of being the youngest child in the class. Believe me we have heard them all. It is not a decision we have taken lightly. We weighed all the factors that we felt were important from being a boy, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, social skills, ability to follow directions etc... I prayed hard and spoke to his teachers, our doctor and his parent educator through our school district. All signs as well as our trusty gut instinct point to his being ready. John Weldon Elementary here he comes! (photos to come!)
