Maggie graduated from St. Martin's Preschool this morning. It was bittersweet as she will miss all her friends and teachers that have helped her grow so much this year, yet we are very excited for her to start kindergarten in the fall. She will be attending Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) Catholic School in the fall and she can't wait. Barbara has been elected to the school board and we will strive to give her the best education possible.
Yesterday afternoon Maggie had her fingers and toes painted red, white and blue as the theme for the graduation was red, white and blue. They did an amazing job
Maggie's graduation was held at the Creative Discovery Museum this morning. A program consisting of prayer, songs, and the presentation of "diplomas" was followed by a cookie party and playing in the museum, and the new exhibit, "grossology", which was true to it's name. Unfortunately, my mother has bronchitis, Barbara's mother had a migraine headache, and Barbara's aunt has an eye infection, so they were not able to join us. Barbara's dad and wife did attend and we had a wonderful day. I videotaped the whole ceremony so at least everyone who was there in spirit will be able to watch the real thing.
We got a balloon bouquet and had it in her room this morning, she was so excited. She also was given a necklace with 2 bottle caps. One had her initial and one had OLPH for her new school. She also received a new hula hoop, a container for her pens/pencils, and a "hot potato" game (her favorite). We are so proud of her and amazed how she is growing up so fast. She amazes us more every single day.
