The beginning of the goodbyes

Today was the last day with my class. It was also school picnic day and stretch & grow . I planned nothing and just hung out with my little guys on the floor with the toys until the busyness began. I held it together and there were no tears in front of the little ones, although there was a close call when one of them walked back through the school to find me and give me a hug. The end of the year has been hard for me every year, but especially this year as they were "mine". Also, this is just the beginning of last days for me. I will have lots of lovely memories of the sweet little ones that will always be my first class.
