officially a first grader…
two weeks ago this little girl finished her kindergarten year. i really thought i was going to be an emotional mess picking her up. i may have teared up a tiny bit during their award ceremony, but mostly i was filled with pride. we opted out of pre-school, so she had no prior education before this year. i was worried about how she would do. she ended up doing great, and made a couple of BFF’s. she can pick up any book from her book shelf and read away. she is writing stories, that even i can read. she can count to 199. she can give a tour of frick park and identify many plants. the other day in the car she was surprised because she saw a brown ant. i told her that maybe it wasn’t an ant. she insisted it was because it had a “head, thorax and abdomen.” she is sassier than ever (that part we could do with out!) and the last week of school she lost TWO teeth. sadly the first one went down the drain while she was brusing her teeth, but thankfully the tooth fairy visited anyway.
