It seems like we were just making the long walk down crowded hallways gripping each others hands not wanting to part ways.
first day of kindergarten 2011
We survived the first week, and the second, and after a while I was even able to watch her walk into the school without tearing up. School became routine, homework a normal Monday afternoon habit, signing Wednesday folders, and Thursday afternoons always a surprise to see which library book she brought home. She always knew her weekly schedule and what days she had P.E. (that was always important because tennis shoes were a must..... no tennies meant having to walk instead of participate in P.E..... she always wore tennies!!! Music was her favorite special but I always looked forward to the artwork she brought home. She got perfect marks every 6 weeks and was always on the honor roll!! She excelled and made me proud. Her reading was outstanding and she was one of the top two readers in her class. Mrs. E was the perfect fit for London and made kindergarten so special. London adored her teacher and I couldn't have asked for a better match.
All the 'fun' days of kindergarten were always exciting....
grandparents day
wear orange/walk to school day
50th day of school
meet the Houston Texans mascot 'Toro' day
100th day of school (she had 100 ribbons on her jeans)
mommy makeover
there were many more....
pajama day, bring a stuffed animal to school, crazy hat day, wear (insert color) day, and some I can't think of...She had her Celebration of Learning last Tuesday. Her teacher read each students favorite part about kindergarten and London's was snack time!! Ha Ha!!
Memorial day weekend my mom had us all over and had a little pool side graduation celebration for London....
here is the graduate, she got her cake and ate it too!!
I sent her to school yesterday with a fun summer day at the pool teacher gift.......
because she had the best teacher ever!!
monogrammed beach towel
monogrammed market tote basket... a fun last minute find at Target!!
the tote filled with pool side goodies!!!
This year flew by and it is so hard to believe my little girl will be a first grader. I'm not ready for her to grow up but it is happening right before my eyes. So while I can, I will hold her every chance I get and hug her a little longer and make the most of her 'little' days that are left. With that being said.... we are off to Nana's for a fun weekend of swimming and fun fun fun!!!
