bry graduates...kindergarten

today was brylee's last day of school and also the day of her kindergarten graduation!

i cannot even tell you how excited i am for summer!! but just thinking about this girl starting 1st grade next year puts a great big pit in my stomach. i've complained all year about brylee being in afternoon kindergarten, but to be honest i have completely loved having her home in the mornings.  i am just going to soak up every second i can with my 3 littles this summer before i have to hand them off to their teachers next fall.

i snapped a few pictures of bry this morning before she hopped on the bus.  i got quite a few humorous poses from this girl, i'm only posting a handful.

this is the face she gave me when i asked her how she felt about it being her last day of kindergarten. 

 i had to snap a picture of bry and one of her best friends hopping on the bus together one last time.  only the kindergarten bus comes to your house.  tacey's bus stop is clear at the front of the subdivision.  i have LOVED having the bus stop right in front of our house.  

 this is bry and her awesome teacher mrs lupton.  she really has been an amazing teacher.  i feel like she has really brought out the best in brylee and really helped bry grow.

normally we have to wait until fall to see what teacher the kids get.  but they handed out a paper saying who their next years teachers were going to be.  i am super excited because brylee got the teachers that i have heard everyone rave about.  sad news is that she isn't in the same class with any of her friends.  hopefully she makes some great new friends next year and is able to stay in touch with all these cute girls too.

 all the pictures of the three of us turned out super blurry.  oh well. 

i am so grateful with how brylee's kindergarten year turned out.  it was way less stressful than my last experience i had with tacey when she was in kindergarten.  i really think a teacher can make or break a year for a child.  brylee is reading and excelling in spanish.  i know she had to work harder than some kids but she puts forth the effort and then makes herself succeed.  my heart melted when i read brylee's report card and her teacher said, "brylee, if you continue to work as hard as you did in kindergarten you'll be able to accomplish great things in your life."  hopefully as a mom i can help brylee to continue to do that throughout her life.  i am so proud of her! 

now....

BRING ON SUMMER!!!
