Bittersweet day in our dayhome π
In a blink, the little 18-month-old who toddled through my door is now SIX years old and heading off to Grade 1!π₯Ή
My sweet dayhome friend, Z, had his last day with me, and my heart is so full.
From learning ABCs, to making crafts at our little table, to practicing spelling and math, to all the playing in between β what a privilege it has been to watch you grow into such a kind, bright, confident big boy.
Thank you to his amazing parents for your beautiful words, generosity, and for trusting me all these years. You said I was more than someone who took care of him while you were at work β but youβve given me just as much. A house full of giggles, drawings taped to the wall (Iβll be keeping that sun over the mountains forever!), and memories Iβll cherish.
You wrote βYou are the Bestβ and βI will miss being at dayhomeβ β well, I will miss YOU more, bud. You will always have a safe and loved place here.
You are so ready for Grade 1. Go shine! β¨ Iβm so, so proud of you.
With lots of β€οΈ,
Vicky
