The first graduation

Friday was Elijah’s last day of school at the little kid daycare campus. The swirl of emotion is something that feels so unique, and yet something every parent experiences. Proud, sad, excited, nostalgic. Having a child really is like hitting the gas pedal on life. But wow, its an incredible journey.

So proud of this dude. He rises to meet every challenge, does not fear change but welcomes it, and is kind to everyone he meets. Incredibly proud and thankful to be his mom.
