Well, there is simply no way to be ready for this.... Simone is on her way to FIRST GRADE!!! Today we went to her kindergarten graduation-- a truly bitter sweet event. As daddy puts it, it was the biggest thing to happen to Simone since she was born, and the biggest reminder yet that she's not a baby anymore. She was ecstatic about performing all of her songs, accepting her diploma, and of course eating the graduation cake!
The ceremony was so sweet. They processed in, pledged allegiance to the flag, sat quietly while the Director gave some remarks, performed a whopping seven songs (impressive), received their diplomas, and posed for what seemed like endless pictures. Simone felt so special, and we were so proud to watch our little angel reach this milestone.

After the graduation, we drove over to Simone's new elementary school and registered for first grade. She got to see the big new building, and peek into the classrooms and the library. She says her favorite parts of first grade will be the cafeteria and recess! For now, we'll enjoy the summer break before we all start adjusting to elementary school. WOW, what a day!!!
