***********
After 10 months of Kindergarten, topped off by a week of one activity after another, Lorien "graduated" from Kindergarten. Before I had a child "graduate" from Kindergarten, I thought the whole idea of Kindergarten "graduation" was pretty silly. It's Kindergarten for Peet's sake! But once I got to school on her "Kinder-Celebration" day I was so thankful for the "ceremony". In the days leading up to the celebration I was constantly on the verge of tears every time I saw the quickly emptying classroom walls. I couldn't believe how emotional I was about the end of Kindergarten! When Lorien headed out the door for her first day of school, I was more nervous than emotional. Would she make friends? Would she love school and learning? Would she like her teachers? Question after question filled my Momma brain causing worry and fret, leaving little room for sadness. I can tearfully report that I made up for that lack of emotion last week. I clapped with all the enthusiasm of a circus seal when she walked into the cafeteria and melted with pride when her class sang "Zip-idy-Do-Dah". The Kinder-Celebration was short and sweet topped off with an ice cream party at the play ground. Congratulations Lorien! I love you.
