Preschool Graduate!

Our first child has officially graduated from preschool!!  *sniff sniff*  Feels like we were just starting this whole school thing.  I will be happy for summer break so that I can just unpack and not worry about running her to school two days a week, but I am a little afraid she will be bored at home all the time and I will now have to get groceries and run errands with 3 kids instead of 2.  She's the easiest one being the oldest, yet for some reason, it just seems like a lot more work with 3 versus 2.  Anyway, I can't believe my big girl is almost a kindergartener!!  Next year she is doing Mandarin Kindergarten and she is very confused how she will learn Chinese.  I am not so sure either! :-)  But I have heard great things about immersion programs, so I am so excited for her to learn another language.  I hope that she will love it! 

 Sibling love:)...

 Layla and her friend, Sophia before the graduation ceramony...
 They sang a few songs upfront which was really cute...
 We had front row seats because we got there quite early.  Gavin had Young 5's graduation last night and they said how it was so busy that parents/grandparents were standing so we thought we should be early since there are way more preschoolers than young 5ers, but turns out, they do the preschool graduation for each class seperately, so there were pleanty of seats:-).
 "I am weak but HE is strong!"
 Mrs. Genzink giving Layla her certificate...they could choose if they wanted to give Mrs. Genzink a hug or a handshake and Layla chose a handshake.  I was surprised as she loves hugs!  I think she maybe just copied the person infront of her:-).


 Grandpa had to work late and ended up not being able to make it...
 And Gigi came down with a bad cough so she couldn't make it...

Woo-Hoo! Congrats on graduation and welcome to the Mandarin family! She has a great teacher and she'll be in class with three of my kids! Crazy! I was hoping that you would choose Mandarin. I'm so excited for you. Enjoy the summer!
