My little man Truett graduated from playgroup last week, with a killer performance and everything. I watched him get jiggy on the stage and it was like he boogeyed the remaining shreds of his babyness right off.
And my heart almost burst.

A year ago, he put on his uniform for the first time and stood at the school gate looking apprehensive. He held my hand tightly with his little one, refusing to let go even though momma said “Bye sweetie, I love you” for the 27th time.
Not this time. This time, he took my hand and walked me into his class to show me all the art pieces he’s done.
When it was time for his performance, he gave me a wave, got up on that stage with his newfound friends and started grooving to the beat, looking all confident and debonair.
Next year, it’ll be a new school and a new chapter. But for now, I’ll play that video on repeat for another couple of days while I try to hang on to my 2-and-a-half-year-old boy for just a little while longer.

totally! it was actually very impressive to see all the hard work the teachers and kids put into making all the art pieces. I think it took them a few months to do it.
He’s all grown up! Love the jiggling dance!

Yes the jiggling!! I can’t stop watching the jiggling. He certainly didn’t get those nifty moves from me though…
Hello! The guy in the second last picture looks really familar. Pastor Mark?

Very sharp! It is Pastor Mark from Emmanuel Assemblies of God. Tru was at Emmanuel Playgroup, which is sadly not opening again next year.
