Today was Julia's last day of preschool. I held it together but it's the end of an era and when her teacher sang "So loo-ong, it's been good to know you," for her last time I nearly welled up. The days of learning through play at school are over, as are the days of a caring, amazing teacher and familiar friends, for both she and I. I know she's ready for the next step, but am mourning the end of this experience for her.
