Kindergarten Graduation

 Kaylee with her teacher, Mrs. Peterson.  She absolutely adored her teacher!  

She was handing Kaylee, her diploma!!!!

 Kyle and I with our little "GARDENER", soon to be a "Grader". 

The whole class of 2023!  

The kindergarten graduation, was so darling!  They sang quite a few songs. They did a video presentation, and shockingly, I was crying!  The video had the song "Let them be little" in it and I lost it!  Then they played this song, "It Wont Be Like This For Long".  There was no hope for a sappy mom, who just adores her little kindergarten princess!  Just looking up there at my baby girl with her graduation cap on put the lump in my throat!  She is growing up so fast, and now all I want is for her to slow down.  Life is so short, and I am trying to slow the hands of time.  Just knowing that before long, she is not going to need me as much as she does now, or need me to tuck her in every night.  I realize that my job is to raise her the best I can and then let her grow up and create a life of her own.  But when I was watching that sweet video, I just wanted to hold on to her sweet, spirited, youth!  I want to be silly with her and live together in joy and love.  I want her to remember her mom as one who was happy, silly, and devoted my all to her and her brothers.
  Kaylee, I am so proud of you and the student you have become!  You are so smart and full of tenderness and joy!  I love you my little "Gardener"!
