End of an Era....

I have always thought that graduation from pre-school is silly. I mean, it's not really that big of a step. The whole cap and gown and pomp and circumstance. It has always seemed a little much. These children aren't being sent out on their own, to make a life for themselves or move away from home to further their education. They are simply going to kindergarten. Going from a private pre-K to the public system.

Yet, there was just something about seeing my first born up on stage with all of her school friends, singing Friends Forever, that made me realize that she has grown up so much over the past year. She has matured so much is really turning into a young lady. She is complete fearless jumping into kindergarten with both feet. She is beyond excited and can't wait to make that big step, into the school system. My little girl is a young scholar. She definitely doesn't get that from me. I did just enough to get by and thankfully I have enough sense that doing just that got me good grades. But Mackenlee loves to figure things out. Look and see how things work. Add. Subtract. I can't wait to see how much she is going to grow and learn through the next year.

Mackenlee, we love you very much and so proud of the young lady that you are turning into! You make us so proud!
