365 DAYS OF RANDOM TEAM ZYBKO
DAY #45
BIG MAN GRADUATES 5K
He did graduate Kindergarten today. Our seats were way in the back, couldn't really see a lot. After standing on the junior, cafeteria bench seats we spot his big ole Zybko head. A few tears begin to blur my vision.
Wasn't he just born? YES, I am certain of it. Seriously can't believe I'm one of those people who declares.
It really does go by fast.
I am pulled back to present day. La La is relentlessly yanking on my fancy new $14.99 sundress. Whoa kid, chill. This suckers gotta last until...well you graduate Kindergarten, at least. I busy her with my phone. She turns down the volume herself and settles in to a serious game of Fruit Ninja.
I enjoy the rest of the ceremony with completely dry eyes. Cheery, silly songs sung by toothless miniature graduates. Who can get enough of that? Even in the nose bleed seats I could feel the kids excitement and pride. Most of them won't even remember this particular 42 minutes of their life. With the help of the above snapshot which seems to capture my Drexel's personality, I certainly will remember. Yep, this Mom whose once prominent dimples now blend with her aging face, smiles sideways and knows as her heart swells a bit she could never forget.
BEAUTIFUL MAMA. JUST BEAUTIFUL. One of my favorite blogs yet.
