Kindergarten Graduation for Eva


Photo-A-Day #3357

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.

Last Uniform Day of the Year


Photo-A-Day #3353

While Eva won’t graduate from Kindergarten until Tuesday, today was the last day that she needed to wear a uniform. I’ll certainly be taking some last day of Kindergarten photos but since she started the year in her uniform I figured I’d catch a photo of her in her uniform for the last time as a Kindergartner. I had to go back and see her on her very first day of Kindergarten, too. So much has changed in this past year. Most noticeably for me was that she was missing her two front teeth at the beginning of the year. She was reading picture books at the beginning of the year. Now she reads chapter books. She’s still an amazing, happy smart child who loves school and everything to do with school. We couldn’t be prouder of how she has done this year.
