Catherine is an official kindergarten graduate!! We are so proud of her. She has worked very hard, learned a lot, and is ready to go on to big school. If it were up to me, she might stay in preschool forever. But she's growing up! And so we celebrate with her as she finishes this milestone.
Her teachers gave each student in the class an individual award. Some students were recognized for their kindness to others, for being good listeners, for their skills in art or music, etc. Catherine's award is for the "Kindergarten Bookworm" because she loves to read and is really good at reading. As she finishes kindergarten, she is currently reading 2nd and 3rd grade chapter books on her own.
She was very excited to wear her cap and gown and receive a diploma. She did inform me multiple times though that the rolled up paper they got today wasn't the real diploma. The real diploma will be flat. She was also very excited about the songs they were singing for graduation, including The Star Spangled Banner.
Catherine has made some really good friends at her school. Some of them will continue on to the elementary school she'll attend next year. Her best school friend, Anna Louise, will be at a different school though. These girls sure are going to miss each other. Jay and I laughed today because Anna Louise's individual award was for "most attentive listener." It's makes perfect sense why they're friends: Catherine talks while Anna Louise listens!!
The whole family is so proud of her! Will wore his bowtie for the special occasion. He is really going to miss having her there with him next year. On the days he goes to school, she walks him to his class and gives him hugs and kisses. But he'll transition to the big brother role next year because Anna is going to go to preschool two mornings a week. He can help drop her off!
We're so thankful that Steve and Marcy can be here for events like these now that they live in Greenville. Marcy has been here for the past 4 or 5 weeks getting the house set up. Last week they got their furniture and things from Huntington moved here. Steve got here yesterday. We're excited to all be together and so thankful that they can be part of the kids' lives on a daily basis.
