A Mommy's Bragging Rights

Today, my daughter graduates from Kindergarten. Her last day of school was yesterday, today is the ceremony, and then she's officially a first grader. It seems like just yesterday we watched her climb onto the bus for the very first time. I took pictures yesterday to compare how she's changed from her first day of school. Last night, she tested for, AND PASSED, her yellow belt in Tae-Kwon-Do. Had I realized she was as good at it as she is (we don't get to watch class), I would have let her test a long time ago. As it is, the test for the first three belts is pretty easy (green belts take the same test as white belts), so she'll have no trouble getting to green. I was so proud of her! She didn't break her board (with her foot), but the teacher told us he had forgotten to bring the special boards for the smaller kids. Without a heavier bodyweight, none of the little ones could break the thicker board (not even the boy testing for his green belt). Well, I'm off! We have graduation at 9, and a party to go to at noon. Caitlin's already been to two parties for kindergarten graduation, and we're getting partied-out! Have a great day!

Congrats!!! Enjoy her while she is young. Kids grow up before you know it. Mine " little one" is 22 already and has just moved out of the house. So we are officially empty nesters. I started the training for my Farmer's Insurance agency this week. Totally cool- eating has been great. My clothes are getting smaller and the scale has moved under 280. FINALLY!! Marcy -90
