Graduation Party

Hello Friends!

It's graduation season and it's a time when students move up or move on.   It's always a proud moment yet bittersweet when you are the parent of a child that is graduating and moving on to higher education or getting ready to start a new career.  In my case, it's my son's middle school graduation we are celebrating on this blog post.  I feel like it was just yesterday i was shedding tears for this little person whom I love so much that is starting preschool.  Letting go is never easy, all the worries of this huge transition of having new faces as his caretaker was overwhelming for this mama.  My brave boy proved to me daily that he was ready for school and I slowly let go and start being as excited as I can for him.   It went from a tiny Lightening McQueen character backpack to the teen choice Addidas backpack very swiftly.  The years flew by and my beloved son graduated from 8th grade.  This is a big accomplishment for my graduate so it's a reason to celebrate.  Thank you Oriental Trading for your super cute product that helped made this party a success.
