spreading her wings

my baby girl, who was at one point glued to me like another limb, graduated from preschool two weeks ago. she had a speaking part, which made me beam of course. i used to worry, standing outside her classroom door, calling her teacher asking how kali was doing once i was home. hmmm...maybe mama had some separation anxiety as well? :) once she learned that preschool was a magical place, where her creativity was treasured, her jokes earned eager giggles, her small hands dipped in paint transformed into butterfly wings when pressed on paper...well, she fell in love. she has done so well, i can't believe those days are over for her, and for me. i'm left clinging to those memories, smiling and holding back tears as i turn the pages of the book we received from her teacher, filled with her artwork and documents of her progress.


how cute is she in that giraffe costume?!






her wonderful homeroom teacher
her stay-and-play teacher, who gets to do all the fun stuff!

congratulations beautiful girl! what a bittersweet time it is. i know you will only continue to grow and blossom and surprise and bless us daily with just being you.
