This little girl has come so far in the year she’s had, (so far), at pre-K.

She went from a child who plays quietly in a corner, to a child who has friends and adores her friends.

She is so kind and loving, and always concerned for the well being of others. She’s smart! More than I know how to handle, sometimes. She loves science, and is getting close to being a reader.

She asks every single day when she can go to kindergarten.

Last night, we drove by her preschool, and waved a final goodbye, as we discussed why she likely wouldn’t be able to go back to school this year, and why she might not see those friends again. (She’s going to a different school in the fall.)

I'm so proud of her. I’m proud because she’s done well in her first year in “school,” but more proud because she’s proven to be a good friend and respectful student.

Happy pre-K graduation, my oldest baby, my love, my Alice.
