Today was bittersweet.\u00a0 My Kindergartner graduated and was promoted to First Grade.\u00a0 Several Moms expressed feeling sad to see their little ones growing up, why can’t they stay little with chubby cheeks and big smiles?\u00a0 We all want to capture this place and time, and their sweet innocence.\u00a0 Afterall, my little guy still wants to be a bunny<\/em> when he grows up! <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you remember this popular\u00a0poem from Robert Fulghum?\u00a0 It’s a classic and thought I’d post it here in case you’ve forgotten about it\u00a0or maybe never read it before.<\/span><\/p>\n

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten <\/span><\/h3>\n

by Robert Fulghum<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most of what I really need
\nTo know about how to live
\nAnd what to do and how to be
\nI learned in kindergarten.
\nWisdom was not at the top
\nOf the graduate school mountain,
\nBut there in the sandpile at Sunday school.These are the things I learned:Share everything.
\nPlay fair.
\nDon’t hit people.
\nPut things back where you found them.
\nClean up your own mess.
\nDon’t take things that aren’t yours.
\nSay you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
\nWash your hands before you eat.
\nFlush.
\nWarm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
\nLive a balanced life –
\nLearn some and think some
\nAnd draw and paint and sing and dance
\nAnd play and work everyday some.
\nTake a nap every afternoon.
\nWhen you go out into the world,
\nWatch out for traffic,
\nHold hands and stick together.
\nBe aware of wonder.<\/p>\n

\u00a0OH and a reminder for you….<\/span><\/h3>\n
