Marshall's Pre-K Graduation

 So, this is kind of ridiculous, but when I was last posting here, Marshall didn't exist yet.

Now, he is nearly 5 years old and graduated from Pre-K.

Pretty wild eh?

Maybe in the future I'll write a few flashback posts about my pregnancy, his birth, heck the first 5 years of his life. If only because I find personal value in coming back to these blogs to reflect and remember.

But for today. Pre-K grad! complete with Cap and Gown ceremony! Songs, snacks, and face painting! Wild, I don't remember this being a thing when we were growing up. But, honestly, I won't complain a bit, because it was entirely too perfect and adorable.

Marshall is my squishy, spiderman obsessed little boy. He is smart and funny and stubborn as all heck, with a mind like a steal trap. He can be shy at first with new experiences and people, but once he settles in he opens right up and is impossible not to adore.

Marshall was an early talker and (although his shyness out in the world might have convinced you otherwise), he was telling us stories and ideas in full sentences before he was 2. I still am often amazed at the command of language he has and the ideas he cooks up in his little brain.

And he is so ready for kindergarten next September. Honestly he was ready last year (but Alberta doesn't have JK so kiddos don't start school here until they are 5). 

I can't wait to see how much more he blossoms and grows over the next few years.
