Today we celebrated Kindergarten graduation! I can so vividly remember back to last August when my heart was filled with anxiety and fear over my little girl going to Kindergarten. It was so scary to me to think about sending her to school and entrusting her to a complete and total stranger each day! But somehow, God gave me peace the night before and off she went. I dropped her off at that gate, gave her a kiss, and sent her on her way.
Fast forward 10 months and now I find myself sad to see her finish. We were blessed with such an incredible teacher for our girl this year! She loved her so well and really instilled within her a love of learning and school! People questioned why we'd put our daughter in a class where they speak Spanish and why we'd send her to the school that we did. We are so thankful for God's leading and for placing her in the PERFECT school/class for her! It was so fun to watch her grow and see her thrive from day to day, week to week, and month to month. God knew exactly what our girl needed!
Too bad you don't get to keep your Kindergarten teacher for ever! I told her teacher the other day that I wanted to take her with us for the next 12 years. She just laughed. Too bad I was totally serious! So next year we begin again. We will begin praying even now for her classmates and teacher and that God will yet again, orchestrate the best place for our girl as she moves on to 1st grade! (and now we'll also hope and pray that our little guy will get blessed with the same Kinder teacher 3 years from now!
Goodbye Kindergarten and Hello 1st Grade!
