The school year is drawing to a close and the festivities are in full swing. Yesterday was Cassidy's preschool program at school and tonight was her concert, which happened to take place at our church. She was so excited about her "performance"!
So here's the thing: for years I've been hearing about preschool concerts, kindergarten graduations, etc. And when I'd hear moms talking about these occasions with any amount of seriousness, inside I'd kind of snicker. Really? This is a big deal? They're not really graduating from anything here. What's the big whoop?
Well, I am here to tell you that it IS a big deal. Every single little accomplishment, every public performance, every chance to dress up and take a picture, ALL of it is a big deal. This sweet little girl has worked hard, learned so much, and changed a great deal since last Fall. We're very proud of the little lady she's becoming. And you know what? We get to share in all of it with her, beaming, clapping and yes, even tearing up in the front row. I didn't even care who saw me overreacting with joy. I'm just one of those moms.
A few rain drops started to fall as we were getting ready to leave and Cassidy here is saying, "Why is it raining on my concert?!" Luckily it didn't last long.
Sitting in the front pew, waiting to perform, full of glee.
Cassidy and her best pal from preschool, Maylee. They've been good friends all year and they were even selected to be in the same class at Roland-Story next year! So they'll be together again.
