Fleeting

My big girl, who was just my baby not too long ago, graduated from preschool. There are those glimpses in parenthood that emphasize how fleeting this period of time will be. The day in and day out routines, schedules, chores and drudgery are swept away by a mere moment.

My itty bitty girl in an itty bitty cap and gown marching along to Pomp and Circumstance. Where has the time gone?I will blink and we will be doing this all over again, from elementary school, middle school, high school, and college.And when the last round of Pomp and Circumstance has played you will no longer sit in my lap but you will still be my big girl who, not too long ago, was my baby.

15 more things to think about:

Isn't preschool graduation such an emotional time for a mommy? I am not looking forward to Landon's. Once they are off to kindergarten it seems like they grow up way too quickly!

Actually, I INSIST you have Zoey sit in your lap when she graduates from college. I think each graduation for her should....nay MUST be commemorated with a picture of her sitting on your lap. Especially when she finishes Middle School.

Such a beautiful baby! I feel your pain! But you've gotta admit, it's all worth it. =)

Tiffany said...

So sweet! You are both adorable!

Devri said...

she is beautiful and so are you!

I cried at my first girls graduation, and then the rest, nope. I can't stand it when they grow up, but it is exciting to see them do so as well!

It totally flies by! :(

Renee said...

Awww, what a wonderful day! She looks so mature and ready. That last picture of the two of you is a keeper!!! Love it!

Congratulations!

Suzanne said...

Oh, I love those pictures of Zoey in her cap and gown. Made me a little teary! She looks adorable!

Melissa said...

Congratulations to Zoey...and to you! I cried like a fool at Quinn's fifth grade graduation...I can only imagine my reaction to high school and college ceremonies!

Kristen said...

Awwww! It can't have been a whole year since we were watching Ashtyn go through that sweet little ceremony! Time flies...

Stacey said...

That is the cutest pic of the 2 of you gals together. Congrats on the preschool graduation. Big Day for Zoey!

Jan said...

She's beautiful. Get ready for many more moments like that -- and they will come faster than you can imagine.

They do grow so fast, don't they?

I almost cried at that first primary graduation...I felt like she was slipping through my fingers...and now, she'll be in her last grade of elementary school.

It's a good thing I am having another baby to keep me from thinking that I am going to be an empty nester before I know it.
