E Graduates from Kindergarten

Congrats to E! She graduated from Kindergarten yesterday and is done with school until the fall. It was very strange to sit down with all the other parents and families, and see my sweet E walk in with her classmates to "Pomp and Circumstance," and the tears just started to fall. What is happening to me?! This is a happy day, and great occasion, and I'm crying?

E did a great job, she sang two songs, one about the ABC's and one about friends being forever. She also did a dance to a song from Lilo and Stitch, hence the grass skirt and flowers in her hair. She just kept smiling the whole time and those gaps in her teeth were so precious, especially considering all of her classmates had the same kind of smile!

She received some purple flowers from her grandparents and a journal from Matthew and I. What a great day, just to think about how far she has come in the past nine months or so. She has learned to read and is reading on a 3rd grade level, she lost several teeth, she had some hard lessons about friendship and compromise, received reading glasses, broke a bone, so many memories!
