Goodbye preschool, and thank you

Tomorrow is the boys' last day at Cathedral House. The place they've been since they were four months old--so just over five years. Talk about growing up and moving on!

We are so grateful that we chose Cathedral House when we were looking at daycares for our babies. At the time, we didn't really think ahead to what kind of school it would be when those babies became kids.

But it has been amazing. We want to thank Cathedral House for teaching our boys how to put back what they've gotten out, to count, to take their dishes to the sink, to write their names, to clean up their own messes, to drink from an open cup, to recognize all the continents, to use the toilet (alone!), the days of the week and the months of the year, to follow the rules, to tell time, to handle challenges, to add, subtract, and even multiply, to be responsible for their own things, to identify homonyms, and many, many other things. And more importantly, we want to thank Cathedral House for making us realize that they are capable of all of these things - that realization has made our kids better people, and our lives easier!

The boys are super excited that tomorrow is their last day. They love their school, but I think they are just excited for something new and haven't really hit the stage of missing the old yet. Mom and Dad, however, will miss it.
