For the First day of Eva’s Summer Vacation we did not have Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwiches on an adventure for our Adventure Wednesdays. We’re trying to do something interesting each Wednesday as a fun activity with the kids. However, today’s activity was preceded by a special haircut for Eva. She decided that she wanted to donate her hair to a child who did not have any so we went to Sorella Salon and she had 8 inches cut off for Children With Hair Loss. We are so proud of her and her haircut is adorable. This was her second hair donation in her lifetime.
After the haircut we I picked up a couple subs from D’Angelo and we brought it to the World War I Memorial Park to play in the playground. The kids had a great time and I was so impressed to see how well Andrew climbed all over everything. The kids love that playground and we enjoyed it, too. One of Eva’s classmates was there too. She was all excited and went running over to him to give him a hug and he didn’t recognize her with the new haircut.
Today was Eva’s graduation from Kindergarten. We could not be any more prouder of what she has done this past year in school. She had exemplary marks from her teacher and nothing but praise from all of the staff at the school. I don’t think that we can express to her how proud we are when we hear things about her from her teachers.
We got to the school early so that we could get a seat. I hate saving seats, it is such an awkward position to be in. For one thing you are sitting there with a whole empty pew and people keep coming up to ask if the seats are taken and they clearly are taken but still people ask. Then I just get anxious while I wait for everyone else to arrive. Listening to people one row behind me bitching and moaning that they weren’t closer. I’m not meant for saving seats but the curse of always being early is that you are the one who saves seats. I think for Eva’s 8th Grade graduation I’m just going to find a seat in the back with a 5000X Zoom lens.
But the graduation ceremony itself was very nice. Eva was up there smiling from ear to ear. She was one of the only kids who smiled the entire time. And that was through her having a huge range of emotions over the end of the year. While she was excited for the Summer she was also sad to leave her friends. She is such a mature kid.
