Zoe graduated from CEFA Willowbrook last week leaving this Valley Mom a big blubbering mess.
Even before she walked onstage in her teeny-tiny yellow cap and gown, I couldn’t contain the watershed that was about to take place.
“Kristy, it’s just preschool,” laughed my mom as I sobbed into my soggy napkin, trying not to get tears on my freshly microbladed brows.
“What are you going to do when she graduates from high school?”
While I do tend to be on the emotional side, especially when it comes to my two girls, my baby’s graduation marked the end of an era for our family.
As of next fall, we’ll have two children going to school full time. Where the heck did the time go?
I’m sure that by the time September rolls around, I’ll be ready to send her out the door to school… but not now… this is just all too much.
At least I know we don’t have to worry about how she’s going to adjust to the longer hours and demands of Kindergarten.
CEFA Willowbrook has been such an amazing experience for Zoe that we will be forever thankful for.

She has really opened up and come out of her shell, has made lots of friends and has shown a keen interest in reading – just like her big sister.
If someone had told me a year ago that my little ginger baby would stand onstage in front of 80+ people to talk in microphone all by herself, I would have thought they were crazy. Back then, she couldn’t even sing in front of Jason and I at home without erupting into a fit of giggles.
Now look at her go. She’s a pro!
