Kindergarten Graduate!!

What an exciting year! Teagan had a wonderful first year of school. She loved her teacher, Mrs. Ruth Klukow and made so many amazing friends. She's grown quite a bit this year - here's her picture on the last day of kindergarten!

It was a very bitter sweet day for us as a Kindergarten graduation is a sure sign that our little girl is growing up. I teared up during the ceremony but she was so excited!

After all the pomp and circumstance there was a Kindergarten picnic where Teagan spent time playing with her BFF Emily Rosin! She's going to miss Emily next year as they will be at different elementary schools. 

Congratulations to our little graduate!!!

Teagan's First Day of Kindergarten

What a big girl we have now! She woke up very excited and did a great job getting ready for her first day! As we dropped her off in her classroom we could tell she was trying to hold back her tears - thankfully there were a lot of new toys to keep her attention off the fact we were leaving.





At the end of the day we arrived to pick her up and all she could say was "Ahhhhh - I wanted to play longer!" I think we could call it a very successful first day of Kindergarten!!

K is for Kindergarten

Well, the big day has arrived. We received Teagan's letter from the school district and I read it in black and white - Teagan is enrolled in all day, every day Kindergarten beginning in the Fall. I'm excited. She's excited. We all celebrate! During the celebration random thoughts start entering my head:

Will she want to pack a lunch or will she want school lunch?
How will I know if she eats at all!?
Will she like school?
Will she like her teacher?
Will she make friends easy?
Will she miss me?
Will school be easy for her? Hard?
She's growing up too soon...
In a matter of time she'll be driving
College? Yikes!

Once I'm done stressing I look down at my smiley little girl and she can barely contain her excitement and she says:

"Can I have some ice cream?"

You can learn a lot from a five year old! They can teach you things like how not to sweat the small stuff, but I think the lesson Teagan taught me today was ice cream solves all! That's my Kindergartner!!!
