Last week we kissed Kindergarten farewell. It was a good day. Sort of sad for me. I was more sad dropping her off the last day then I was the first day. I am just that way.
She is excited for the summer because she gets to go to Grace Place. She has heard a lot from her friends about all the cool stuff they get to do at Grace Place so she is happy. We have had a few tears about missing Mrs. Borden and her Kindergarten (mostly from just the change of it all) but I think she will be fine once she gets through the summer. She also cried that 1st grade was going to be hard. I am sure it's just nerves...
A picture from her 2nd to last day (the last day in Kindergarten in her uniform). The last day was only a half day and no uniforms were required. |
That night of her last day we went to her school for a ceremony. It was great. It was very well done - not too much but just enough to make is special. They did a slide show of pics from the year, the kids sang a few songs. Then, each kid was introduced and given a medal and their graduation cap (with a final hug from their teacher). They said a little something about each kid. For Elaina they said:
"Elaina Claire Stringfellow.
Daughter of Erik and Erin Stringfellow.
Elaina wants to be a teacher when she grows up.
Her favorite thing to do is play games with her mom.
Her favorite thing about Kingergarten was lunch."
Yep - about sums that little girl up. Some of the things the kids said were cute. One little boy in her class wanted to be a stay at home dad when he grew up. Hilarious!
So, now on to pics from the night...

We are so proud of our wee one.... She did so great in Kindergarten. She is such a great and fun kiddo. Can't wait for a fun summer with her.
