Jack

Jack-man is done with preschool! I can't believe its been two years, feels like just yesterday. I remember the first day of preschool I prayed that Jack would have courage. The day I dropped him off I swear I could see him glowing with it. Now he is off to kindergarten!
I told him I was sad he was done with preschool. He responded, "Why Mom? I won't be a grown up for a long time." I said he was right and that the correct word for my feeling would be nostalgic. From all of preschool memories I wonder if I will remember any of it later on.
Jack is becoming quite the kid. The most recent personality trait to surface is the need to fit in, which has taken me by surprise. This came about after contemplating about whether or not to wear a new shirt to school. Jack said he was worried the other kids would make fun of him. I told him most kids wouldn't even notice his shirt but he still hasn't worn it. He also has stated that he doesn't like to sing in public. Which explains his lack of participation at his preschool graduation program. I just pray that as he grows his need to fit in will change into self confidence that allows him the freedom to be himself.
