June 10: Little Photographer

Today is my son's final day at preschool, and he graduates next Tuesday evening! Of course, my wife and I are proud as punch! Since it's such a big day for him, for his class we brought in the all-time best ice cream for celebration among young children....yes, it's Push-Ups, of course. But, that's not what this blog entry is about as both me and my son have had Push-Ups plenty of times. I also let him take our digital camera to daycare with him so that he could grab some photos of all his pals; of whom most, unfortunately, he will likely never see again unless by random chance. We let my daughter do the same thing when she left the same daycare for the final time, and I didn't want my son, at 16, looking through pictures and asking why his sister had several photos of her class at the daycare center and he had none. Sure, it was a risk letting him manage a moderately priced camera without parental supervision, but one well worth taking due to the aforementioned reason. Besides, his teacher promised she would monitor the situation for us. In the end, it all worked out beautifully. He felt like a big shot snapping photos of the gang, and he has some nice memories to look back on from his few years at the center. I just can't believe he's going to be starting Kindergarten in a few short months. Man, time sure does fly, doesn't it?
