Mrs. Francom and Marcus
Waiting until the big graduation started
This is when he first came out and he was a little embarssed
Look at my big guy!
Last week was Marcus' preschool graduation! We had such a wonderful time. I was kind of nervous for him because he had memorized 3 parts and I didn't want him to get too nervous and forget them, but he did great! He even had to help out in another part.
These were his parts:
*I'm number 8 black like a bat. A spider has eight legs fuzzy and fat!
*T is for teapot, our favorite song. Listen carefully for it won't take to long!
*X,Y,Z know we are through, we have a little dance just for you!
When the Mrs. Francom first announced their names Marcus was the second one and quite embarrassed (if you know Marcus you know what I am talking about!), so he kind of covered his eyes until he realized everyone had to walk out and he wasn't different from anyone. So Carson had the video camera on and right before the started to sing Marcus put his finger up by his neck and moved it like cut it out dad stop recording me. After the first song he did it again and then he realized no matter what dad is going to record me. If I could figure out how to download my video I would put it on her because it is so funny. Carson's favorite part was when the were saying, "aa, Addie; etc" while saying it they would point to the person's name they were saying and Marcus got really into pointing to the kids in his class. My favorite part was when they were singing I have 9 people in my preschool, Marcus' name was last and after he said it he said while pointing to himself, "that's me!" It was very cute and lots of fun. He really got into one of the songs without noticing he was dancing a little to the song! At the very end they did a little dance with partners, they did such a great job! Oh, how you got to love this preschool age when they are learning about themselves and how to work together!
During this past week I have thought about being a parent. When we are nearing the age of marriage and being a parent you kind of only think of the best parts, not really realizing what the bad parts could be. I always feel like I have a pretty level head when it comes to life, but I think certain things still our a shock. I knew marriage wasn't always going to be blissful, but I don't know that I realized how it is a full time job working on it so it can be successful and then parenthood you really don't know what to expect. I know I have said before that when Marcus was 3 days old it hit me that I was always going to be a mom and never get a brake. I realized I have always been worried about when my kids become teenagers because well we know how well Carson and I were when we were teenagers. But I think that I didn't really realize is how hard it is to teach your kids everything that they need to be taught, live by our teachings that we believe in, and make sure that you are consistent with everything so your kids are always respectful. I mean why is when I was little all my mom had to do was give me the look and I knew to stop and I try and give my kids the look and they think I am pulling faces! This past year with my very sweet strong willed 5 year old has been the hardest parenting year of my life. At times I feel like I am such a failure, others I feel like I am doing pretty good. At moments I feel like it is just a 5 year old stage and other times I feel like it is all in the way I am parenting and I feel like I am missing something in my parenting. So going throughout this week with field trips and graduations this has been the moment that when you are a little girl he think of when you think of parenting. The proud mommy moments! I love being a wife and parent, but I do have to say it has been some of my hardest years and most of all my most rewarding years! I honestly feel so blessed to be a mom and most importantly to me a stay at home mom! I look forward to many more preschool graduations and field trips.
Marcus thanks for being such a good kid! You have now accomplished 3 years of preschool, learning from different teachers and being an example to many kids. We are so proud of you and for everything that you know how to do. I never thought reading and addition would come so quickly in your life, but here it is and you are doing great! Keep up the good work and keep showing that cute personality that you have. Your family loves you very much, great job!
