Happy Holaday's: Graduation Day

This weekend was my and Kieran’s last weekend at home before we leave for our summer in Hawaii. We walked around Hoboken and went to lunch at Kieran’s favorite restaurant. It was a last chance for the three of us to get in some quality family time. Sunday night I made Kieran’s favorite dinner, grilled chicken sandwiches with bacon and homemade spicy baked French fries. I also made Shaun and I fresh peach Bellini’s. So yummy!!! Kieran was my little helper and set the table, which was so sweet!!

Today, Kieran officially graduated from kindergarten, making him now a big time first grader! I cannot believe how emotional today was for both he and I. Me, because my little baby is now a big kid, and I’m so very proud of him. He’s grown and learned so much this past year and looking back it’s hard to believe the year’s already over. For Kieran, it’s because he knows that he won’t see his friends and his daddy for a long time. As a parent it’s always so hard watching your child hurt in anyway, especially when it’s not something you can fix. I know when he gets to Hawaii and he’s playing on the beach and he makes new summer buddies at Punahou and get’s to Skype daddy about all of his cool new adventures that everything will be great. I just wish kissing away the boo boo’s still made things better. Of course by the end of the day my little sweet Kieran was back to his normal happy self and even talking about playing on the beach. That’s the amazing thing about kids how resilient they are and how quickly they bounce back. So congratulations to all the little graduates out there and let summer vacation officially begin!!!
