Our Graduate

Her dad and I are thrilled that Vivien has now completed two years of preschool! We had a few doubts way back when in her first year;). She has come along way. It is very exciting to know she can now: follow directions from her teacher, get along with her peers and try hard to learn her letters. She is ready for kindergarten, because of her amazing, patient teacher. Congratulations my Vivi J...you did it:)

The program for graduation was all patriotic songs and dress. Very enjoyable:)

Vivien is feeling a little overwhelmed with emotion while receiving her diploma.

Getting ready to throw her hat.

The hats in the air...woo hoo! I think it's only now at preschool graduation that throwing hats is permitted.


The proud graduate.

Mrs. Brooks, (the most patient preschool teacher around) and Vivi.

Vivien and her best buddies. She had a blast with these little girls all year. They are all sweet, darling girls.
I know preschool graduation is a small milestone, but for Vivi it was a big one.
Vivien has the most energy of anyone I have ever known. Her spirit is stronger than just about anyone I've ever known. She is an amazing girl. She does give me a run, or a marathon about once a day. It can be exhausting. I know with her energies directed in the right direction, that by high school graduation nothing and no one will be able to stop her. I do sometimes wish for those days when, (it took a village to raise a child). I could really use some help from the village most days.
Thank you Vivien for keeping me on my toes. I know I am blessed to have you as a daughter.
