Ben’s a Preschool Graduate!

Ben had his preschool graduation on Thursday night. He was very excited for it and had been practicing the songs at home. Unfortunately he woke up sick Thursday morning and he took a 2+ hour nap that afternoon but with Motrin he was still able to enjoy his graduation and the show after. The next morning I took him to the doctor and he had both ears infected and strep throat, poor kid! Anyway I am proud of my little boy but wish he wasn’t done with preschool. I’m not so fond of the kids getting bigger! He loved his two years there and I know he’ll miss his teachers and the kids who aren’t in his school district. He is sad school is over but thinking about a summer of swimming is helping that.
Also on Thursday, not long after John saw 2 turtles at work, I rescued a turtle trying to cross a 55mph road. I brought the turtle home so all of the kids could see her and so we could let her loose in our backyard. When Ben woke up from napping I took him out to see the turtle and she peed on his leg. A sick groggy Ben got super upset for a few minutes!
