sad happy day

Today was Dennis' official last day of preschool. I worked on classroom cleanup afterward, but I sighed big time when we walked out the door for his last time as a student. Tomorrow is our planning meeting for next year, and Dennis will be there for the meeting (because he and another teacher's grandchild will be playing together), but it won't be the same. He came home with a bag of stuff: his photo album from the year, a story book from his teacher, art work, his perfect report card, and the notebook of pages of the alphabet (1 project for each letter). I can't believe he's done!

Yesterday was awesome, filled with parties and family and friends partying at the lake, and when I am not completely exhausted, I will write more. It sounds like I need to walk the dog in a minute, anyway. I just heard Dennis tell him "don't you see the sign on my door? It says 'do not enter'." We don't let Lemonade go in Dennis' room unless all his toys are picked up (chew temptation), and right now they aren't!
