I can't believe its already been 5 years since we welcomed my sweet Kylie into the world. Now she's all grown up and getting ready to start kindergarten in the fall. This past week, we headed to Whistle Stop, her preschool, to watch her and her friends 'graduate.' Nana, Dampa, and my Uncle, who was in town for training came along as well. My mom even thought ahead and bought Kylie a wrist corsage with tiny pink baby roses that she was able to wear.
I thought I'd be a bit emotional about the experience, but there were so many people there it was pure chaos. Add trying to keep both the boys still and quiet, and there wasn't really anytime to get emotional.
All the kids got to walk in, do the pledge and sing, 'God Bless America', and then proceeded to sing a couple songs. It was quite impressive what they were able to do. They knew all the continents, named all the states in the United States, went through the phonics alphabet while doing sign language to go along with it all, and counted to 100 by ones, twos, fives, and tens. Each child was able to come up and get their diploma while the director of the school shared info about each child. Kylie shared that her favorite color was purple, that her favorite thing to do at school was color, and that when she grew up she wanted to do gymnastics.
After the graduation, the school had an open house, complete with a bounce house, petting zoo, pony rides, balloon artist, train rides, and more. Ky and I were both exhausted when we finally heading home around 8:45, but she had a blast and that's all that matters to me!
Here are a couple of pics of my sweet girl, due to the amount of people and inability to really move to take pictures, none of the shots really turned out all that fantastic, regardless, I'm very proud of my biggest rugrat!
Singing, two separate times she knocked her and her neighbors hat off while doing the motions to songs. The teacher told the kids whoever sang the loudest and did the best job would win a popsicle. Ky took this challenge VERY seriously...in the end, they all 'tied' surprise, surprise, but she was happy anyways.
