The day of her graduation was an eventful one. We began the morning at the pediatrician's office with Ethan who somehow managed to perforate his ear drum (he will be fine, but he gave us quite a scare). Then, I took her to National Coney Island where she enjoyed, what else but a Coney Dog! One of Emma's favorite treats is going to a restaurant and getting a hot dog, so she was very excited.
Then, we picked up Nani and headed to her last day of preschool. We had a great time playing on the playground and cooling off with some Popsicles. Finally, it was the moment we couldn't believe was here. Her teacher, Mrs. Grashik, called her up and handed Emma her diploma and read from a sheet with questions they asked her about Kindergarten. We have gotten several of these sheets this past year about various topics (How to Cook a Turkey, Holiday Questionnaire, etc) and they have all been pretty humorous. This one was no exception! Pay particular attention to the last two questions:
That's right, magic! We have absolutely no idea why she has magic on the brain, but she is most excited about learning magic in Kindergarten. Look out Harry Potter, Hogwarts has a new student!
Nonetheless, we are so proud of our Emma. It is amazing to see how much she has learned this past year in school and we are so looking forward to seeing how much she will learn in Kindergarten. We are also so thankful for her wonderful teachers, Mrs. Grashik and Mrs. Kehrig and all the time and energy they poured into her this year. Their patience and love for learning made Emma love school even more!
Four years ago when I held that beautiful little baby in my arms for the first time, I could not have imagined how much joy she would bring to our lives. What a blessing it has been to see how the Lord has grown her into such a smart and beautiful little girl and we are so thankful that the Lord has entrusted her to us. We love you, Emma, and are so happy we are your Mom and Dad. Look out Kindergarten, here comes Emma . . .
Emma graduating!
