My son Kaleb has graduated from Kindergarten at the Montessori school. The school calls it the crossing over ceremony. He has been going there for 3 years and if anyone has the opportunity to send there child to a Montessori school- I highly recommend it. He has learned so much and the best part is he has learned to Love learning. Here he is handing out drum sticks for one of the songs they were about to perform

and the rainstick he was responsible for turning

I was so proud of him!!!!
Kaleb and another graduate sharing a special moment!

Let me tell you a little about who Kaleb is. Kaleb is THE most compassionate, loving, and happy 6 year old you will ever meet. He is truly special! I know you are thinking oh well he’s your son of course you feel that way. NO!!!! You just don’t understand he is really special. Here is just a recent example of just how incredible he is. Each of the 4 graduates had a speech at the podium before receiving their diploma. The speeches went something like this… My name is john I am 6 years old I have been going to the Center School for 3 years. My favorite things to do are play on the swings and singing and I want to thank my mommy and daddy for driving me to school every day. Now if that wasn’t special enough my baby all of 6 years old and the last to go up to the podium to deliver his speech and receive his diploma says…

“Hello my name is Kaleb I have been going to The Center School for 3 years. My favorite things are playing soccer and doing subtraction and I want to thank Mother Earth for lifting up our school.” WOW!!! The parents and teachers just gasped of course my mouth just dropped open and the tears just fell down. How at 6 years old does my son know about lifting anything up let alone put together Mother Earth being apart of elevating their school.
His teacher came up to me later and with tears in her eyes said “can you believe what Kaleb said? What a way to end our crossing over ceremony.”

I am one proud mommy!! How did I ever deserve him???? When I was pregnant I had just one wish for him. That wish was for him to be a happy kid. My whole life I suffered from severe depression and through those years always thought -why was I born? I didn’t ask for this! I thought how cruel it was that I had to suffer so much. I never wanted to have kids because I didn’t want to bring that on another person. I was also convinced that my kid would end up with the same problems. My mom also wished on me to have a kid just like me- which was not a very nice thing to say-LOL! I was a bit of a problem when I decided to up and move to NYC by myself at 17 but that’s a whole other story- not to be told for a very very long time- or at least until my dad is too old to read. So anyway my one wish when I did get pregnant was God PLEASE let him be happy. Well my wish was answered and not only is he a happy little man but anyone he comes in contact with has there spirits lifted as well. He has an innate ability to know when love and compassion are needed as well. He has been known to walk into the room as I’m working, eating or thinking and get up on my lap and ever so gently touch my face and look into my eyes and say “mommy you know I love you so much” and then like nothing happened just hop off and go back to whatever he was doing. What a gift!! I remember asking him about 2 years ago. So Kaleb who is your best friend in school? You know what he answered? “Mommy I can’t have a best friend because then the others would feel bad.” My brother says Cristine don’t be surprised if the Buddhist’s call and say they had a vision of there next Dalai Lama and Kaleb needs to report to duty ASAP.

Me and my special boy!
