Kaitlyn is now graduated from preschool. I can't believe she is that old and that I will have a child in elementary next year. Which by the way she is terrified for, but we will take things one step at a time. She was very scared to go to her graduation. She cried for about 30-40 min before we went and when we got there she was pretty much bawling. We tried to calm her down and Billysue (her teacher) even tried to calm her down. Nothing was working. So we sat as close as we could, that was pretty darn close and the program started. They started to sing a song and she gradually calmed down. I had one mother ask me if she had the hiccups because of the way she sang the first song, trying to stop crying and catching her breath. I had to post a lot of pictures because I thought it was so funny to see her transformation, how sad she started out and then by the end she was beaming with the biggest smile. Hopefully this experience will help her be brave at the dance recital next week. We let her choose her favorite place to eat afterwords and she decided she wanted a hot dog from Big J's so we headed out there and she was so excited to find out that she got to get a kids meal and even more excited when she saw the cowboy hat that it came out in. Melanie and Kaitlyn were pretending they were cowgirls and talking like them and everything. All in all it was a good night.

What a Doll! Hey, How is your mom doing?
I will call you tomorrow, but lmk if you need anything!
Okay, that is a stinkin' sweet kids meal. I mean... it actually came with a cowboy hat. I wish they gave prizes like that with cereal boxes:)
Congrats to Kaitlyn! What a milestone for you and her. I can't believe kindergarten is just around the corner!
I'm with you I can't believe I'm going to have a kid in Kindergarten next year either! Maybe they will be in the same class.
McKenna's lip quivered the whole time during her pre-school graduation. I don't know who was more sad her or me! Don't worry too much about K. by the time it rolls around Kaitlyn will be ready to go to go school again :0) My oldest starts 1st grade...I feel so old
Sounds like a fun graduation! And love the cowboy hats. I hope your mom is doing better!!
I can't believe you have a kid that graduated from preschool already. I guess I just don't feel as old as we are. Anyways, I am going to be down in Logan this Friday for a Dr's apt and then I just have to chill all afternoon till Justin passes through to pick me up (around 8-ish) we should have lunch or something if your available.
Kaitlyn is looking more like you everyday! Can you believe you will have a kindergartener?? WOW
