The Night Before Kindergarten

'Twas the night before Kindergarten and you ran through the house

Put on your pajamas and laid out your new clothes

Your backpack was hung by the front door with care

Ready for the school bus that soon would be here

Dad read two bedtime stories about school, friends and fun

Then a drink of water and stuffed animals - you tucked in each one

We said prayers together for a safe and fun school year

You lay down on your pillow, hands folded under your ear

I just can't believe how it's all happened in a flash

Two years of preschool went past in a dash

We're proud of you, Isaiah, our five-year-old boy

So loving, so funny, so smart, so much joy

I know you'll do well as you venture on out

I'll be here waiting, trying not to pout

And when you come home I can't wait to hear

How much fun you had at the start of this year

*Note: In the photo above, Isaiah is holding a special coin that he earned for saying his bible verse at Sunday school. Yesterday the four of us attended church together for the first time ever. Not the first time to church, but the first time TOGETHER, all four of us.
