Hudson graduated from 4K this morning. It was an emotional event, that's for sure! We are so proud of him, and he is so excited for Kindergarten! We will miss Brookwood Baptist though. It has been a wonderful place! It was really a bittersweet day.
The program started off with Mrs. Diane reading a poem. I'm including it here because I thought it was so appropriate and sweet, even though it made almost every single person in the entire room cry. It's a good thing the Kleenex box went around the sanctuary before the event started!
To My Child
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and
pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and l
let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the
computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won’t worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have madewhere you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I
won’t stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald’s and buy us
both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a
story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on
the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for
their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting
their children’s graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and
fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer
senselessly, and screaming inside that they can’t handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a
little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you.

Then, the kids showed us a little about what they've learned this year through memorized bible verses and songs. The kids ended their part of the program with the song "Friends Forever" and it was just so sweet. Hudson is in the top row in the middle in the video below...it's kind of hard to see him.
And if that wasn't enough, there was a slide show after that to the tunes of "Let Them Be Little", "My Wish", "You've Got a Friend in Me", and Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All." If you hadn't cried yet, you cried after all of that! Phew! I'm personally glad that is over! Ha!
Hudson just LOVED his teacher this year, Mrs. Mary Kay. She was amazing, and we are certainly going to miss her next year!
Stay tuned for pictures from Disney World (the greatest trip ever!!!).
