Kindergarten Graduation

Elliana was super excited this morning about going to school. She called it a very special day. They have been practicing all week in school for today. We knew they were going to be singing, but she kept telling us that it was going to be a surprise and she could not wait for us to hear her sing. She picked out her outfit and made she that mommy put her hair in a special pony tail, without the fuzzies she said, because with the humidity her hair has been a mess lately. But we made sure this morning that it wouldn't be, so she got to use mommy's flat iron to straighten her hair. 

I do have to admit, i teared up a when she crossed the stage. A very symbolic way for the school to represent their graduation from kindergarten and crossing over to first grade. Very meaningful way to represent the kids growing up. But this morning, I felt like I didn't want her to grow up. But it is exciting to see her grow and learn. To be a part of her life and her journey, to embrace new beginnings of her life. Such a special little girl, very smart, very loving, caring and respectful. 

She loved her flower.
