Preschool Graduation

Yesterday, our spunky, kind-hearted, oldest daughter who loves animals, babies, her siblings, and Jesus graduated from preschool.

She has been at the same preschool since she turned two years old, and we are so proud of the little girl she is growing into.  She has learned so much, and made some very sweet friends -- but more importantly than then academics she has learned to prepare her for kindergarten and grade school, she has learned how to work.  She has learned how to get work done independently, or with friends, and how to organize her time and have fun learning.

Yesterday we were able to celebrate her accomplishment and mark the milestone of her moving on to kindergarten.

She is ready, which is such a blessing to be able to say.  A few months ago, she was not.  She would adamantly oppose the suggestion of going to kindergarten, and start to cry.  Now, she cannot wait.  She admits that she might be shy, and she is going to miss her siblings... but she is ready for the new challenges.

Tracey loves geography, science, and counting.  She also learns very well when material is set to music because she loves to sing and can repeat music pretty well.  She is still working on how to sound out letters, and other aspects of her curriculum, but she enjoys learning, which is what we want for her.

Happy Graduation, Tracey Ann!  We love you so much and are so proud of you and all that is coming next in your life.
