So, yeah, there was a leaving preschool party last week, but that didn’t actually mean that preschool was over. It just… peters out. Preschool is open during the first few weeks of summer as well (and even in the middle of summer vacations, the area’s preschools coordinate so that one is open all throughout summer). The number of kids attending just gradually drops off as their parents’ vacations start.

Today was Adrian’s last day. With no particular ceremony or anything special, we packed up the extra clothes and rubber boots, added the day’s artwork, and went home.

Adrian had drawn cards for a few of his best friends and his favourite teachers. Two of the kids had already left so he couldn’t hand over the cards in person, and had to write his message on the envelope instead. “FRÅN ADRIAN JAG KOMER SAKNA DEJ” – “from Adrian, I will miss you”.
