It was Nathaniel's last day of school today.Now, there are a lot of asterisks around that statement.First, he didn't attend for the full year. He started in January, and didn't move to his current class for a few months after that.Second, he's not even 18 months. What is "school", compared to "daycare"?Third, he's coming back to the same place for summer camp in a few weeks. And related to the above, for an 18-month old, what is the difference between "school" and "camp"?But even with all of those caveats, I am verklempt. He is positively thriving, and it is a joy to see. He's confident and he's active and he's learning and growing at an incredible rate. Picking a preschool/daycare felt extremely high stakes -- probably higher than it actually is -- but to the extent there was a "right" choice, boy did we ever make it.And yeah, sometimes he’s a bit tuckered out. But that’s okay too.So pride of my guy!
