~Last Day of School~

May 18th was Alec's official last day of school.  To be honest, he was pretty excited about it, though I felt like crying.

Now, don't get me wrong.  Alec loves his teachers and has soooooo much fun at school.  He was just kind of tired of having to get up and get ready in the mornings.  The little man was ready for a break.  We all need those every once and a while, right?

Alec had the most amazing teachers this year, Mrs. Lynch and her helper, Mrs. Voung.  I absolutely love Mrs. Lynch in every way.  She was such an amazing teacher for Alec.  He understood him and cared about him and did everything in her power to provide him a safe comfortable learning environment.  In return I really think he trusted her, which is a really big deal.  Alec doesn't trust many grown-ups these days so the fact that he trusted her means a lot.  As the end of the school year crept up on us I felt soooo sad that he would have to say goodbye to Mrs. Lynch, but found solace in knowing she would be Elyssa's teacher the next year.  Then we found out that Mrs. Lynch will be moving up to the Pre-K class this Fall!  She will still get to be Alec's teacher!  Alec and I were both soooo excited!

(I stole a number of these pictures off the preschool website.  Alec gave this same face in almost every preschool picture.  Silly boy.)

A few months back Nick went in and taught Alec's preschool class about his saxophone.  Alec loved having him come visit, and even brought along his saxophone kazoo.  I heard they played a mad duet. :-) 

 It's been a wonderful year full of learning and growing and new experiences for my little Alec. I know that it was scary for him at times, surrounded by people he didn't know well, but I'm so proud of him.  It's so amazing to see how much he has grown and changed over the last 9 months.

I love you, Mr. Alec!

Just like I tell you every night, I'm sooooo glad I get to be your Mom. :-)
