Happy Graduation

Last Friday on the 22nd My Little Girl graduation from KINDERGARTEN!!!! It was so cool. They came in to the gym in their church uniforms and blue caps with white yarn tassles, and marched in two lines around the perimeter to the middle of the back of the court. They proceeded to come down the middle of the sets of rows as little couples holding hands. It was super cute! Many of them as they walked had to keep checking on their cap to make sure it was still steady on their head, and I could not help but giggle at the boys with pants that are now way too short with the bottoms no where near the tops of their shoes.

They sang three adorable songs and presented gifts to teachers, aids, room mothers, superintendents, principals, etc. (yes it was a very long list..25ish) They presented their paper mache candle jar in groups of two's holding hands and hugging the recipients.

Then they received their diplomas from The Sister. Little scrolls. heehee so, again, cute! And of course found their parents and posed for pictures real quick.

Finally they presented us with their books that they had published of pictures and stories/answers to questions they told their teachers. She was 47" tall at the beginning of the school year, and is now 49" tall at the end. Mommy is 22 years old and, well Daddy is 42 years old. (I have such a great kid!)And for the first time, she wants to be a teacher when she grows up. cjh - no longer does she aspire to be a basket. Yippie!

Afterwards one of her classmates hosted a pool party, at maybe the coolest home pool I have ever been to. It was salt water with a snazzy water fall from the not hot hot tub.

So it was a great day. MLG is growing up! Sniff, sniff. AAAAAAAaaaand, with all that hand holding and hugging, I now know why my kiddo is so huggy, huggy with everyone.
