"Mom I saw you crying"

I guess I didn't do a very good job hiding my emotions at Taylor's Kindergarten Promotion last week. I have been told by seasoned parents that once kids start school, time just seems to fly by. I quickly learned this year that is a VERY true statement. I can't believe Kindergarten is over and in only 5 short weeks (year round school) she will be starting 1st grade. Holy cow!

I took Taylor shopping for the "big day." She picked out her outfit from head to toe. The class sang songs narrating the school year. It was super cute! My tears occurred during "Start Spreading the News we're in 1st grade."

God Bless America.

Receiving her certificate.

Pretty Girl!

Ashlyn enjoyed the ceremony.

And we're grateful Grandpa J was there to entertain this boy.

We LOVE Ms. Karr. She was absolutely the best teacher Taylor could have had this year.

She is simply awesome!

Signing yearbooks.I am really proud of Taylor and all she accomplished this year. She is reading and can now write paragraphs with a topic sentence, 3 star ideas, "REDS" and a conclusion. There is no messing around in Kindergarten!Marie Callendars per Taylor's request for a celebratory lunch.We are now enjoying Summer break. We have lots of fun things planned before she becomes a "grader."
