Grace's Preschool Year

.
Even though this didn't occur today, I felt the need to add this post because it is a huge moment in our lives.

On Thursday, May 17th Grace finished her very first year of school (Preschool). As we left the school building with all of her pictures, artwork and certificate of completion the lump rose in my throat. I fought the tears away and asked her if she had a good last day. She seemed unfazed by the fact that she will never again be back in that classroom and will never again sit among the same friends.

I don't know why I had such a hard time with this -- I know it is the first of many beginnings and endings for her.

On Tuesday, May 22nd they had a Preschool Program and performed lots of songs they had learned throughout the year. In attendance was myself, Daddy, Gavin, Grandma Zokoe, Aunt Tori and Uncle Caleb. We were all so proud of Grace and her performance. After the conlusion of every song, Grace smiled at everyone in the audience.

We also said our "goodbyes" to Mrs. Dolce, Grace's Preschool teacher.

And again to her friend Emily, who we hope to see some time over the summer to play

Onto Kindergarten adventures in the Fall of 2012. We will be finding out in the next couple of weeks which school Grace will be attending. I am so not ready for this...
