Kindergarten Graduation!

I'm a bit behind, but things have been crazy!

Last week, Rose graduated from Kindergarten. It's crazy this year flew by. It seems as though just yesterday I was walking her to her first day of school!


That was the beginning of the school year!

Now....







What a change!!

* She has made wonderful new friends, and yet through her again so have I. * She has learned so much, just in one short year - its unbelievable, and yet through her again so have I. * She has developed a personality, not always one I like - but one that is HER, and yet through her again so have I - lol. * She is blossoming!

Yet even through these accomplishments I still look at her and see my "baby" Rose. The baby that clung to me and needed me for everything. The child who loved my peanut butter and jellies (now SHE needs to make them). The little girl who wanted me to play with her at all times (now all SHE wants is her friends). I don't think I will ever look at her any differently, even as she matures.

It's what makes me a Mom. It's what reminds me of where we have been and where we will go! It's what keep me from insanely crying, wondering why she must grow up!

Rose, I am so proud of you for what you have accomplished this year. You are everything I could have ever asked for!

You will always be my lil' TOAD!
