Our graduate

We have another graduate in the house (can I get a whoop whoop!?). Maggie Mae is officially a kindergartner (well, almost, she "still has a lot of summer vacation to go" as Maggie says). Her graduation was just fantastic. We were so proud of the way she stood up on stage and sang her little heart out. She was very serious and would not wave or thumbs up or anything like that during her performance (unlike the little boy next to her who gave his mom a thumbs up no less than 8 times). She was so excited to read her yearbook that when we went to the courtyard to visit B at her popsicle party, she went off by herself and sat and "read" the whole thing. She has had someone read it to her cover to cover at least 2 times now (and all the descriptions of the 55 kids graduating). She really blossomed this year, and it just warms my heart to see her so confident and so comfortable with her surroundings.

...She has grown up so much this year. She loves to practice her writing. She loves to color. She adores her friends and wants to have playdates all the time. She is always ready to go somewhere and will do whatever you need to help get out of the house. If you can't find something, don't worry, Mags can. If you say something like "gosh, I wish the basement was clean; it really makes me upset." There is a good chance she will be down there in the next 10 minutes cleaning it She makes both her and B's bed in the morning. She loves to "read." She is loving soccer and is still a fish in the water. She liked dance a lot but is not sure she wants to do it again, she may want to focus on soccer (she cracks me up!).

Today she was put in time out for something (I honestly can't remember) and was crying very loudly. Chris peeked in to check on her. She was still crying loudly, but as she was also hanging the clothes that bridget had thrown on the floor. She then went on to organize her closet and clean up her room. That's my girl!
