Growing up

Where does the time go? DJ "graduated" from school today. He finished his year in the 3's class and will move into the 4's class this fall. He even got a diploma!

I remember the first day of this "job", 18 October 2004. I was only supposed to take care of DJ for two weeks, until a spot at daycare opened up. I think it only took two days before I decided to take care of him full-time. DJ is the kind of kid that, even as a baby, could capture your heart and own it forever. I took a picture that first day...

Now, three and a half years down the road, he has finished his first year of preschool, I'm raising him on my own, and while I constantly doubt my abilities, his mom, my family, other parents at school, tell me what an amazing job I have done, so I must be doing something right.

Hard to believe that little 7 month old is now 4 years old and has a preschool diploma!!!
