Oh, The Places You'll Go!

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the girl who'll decide where to go.

So...be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So...get on your way!

This week I graduated from preschool!! We've been practicing a long time for our commencement ceremony. I even introduced one of the songs that we sang (hopefully there will be a video to follow on my blog in a few days!)
While I am VERY excited to start kindergarten in the fall, I am very sad that I have to say goodbye to my love, Brandon. He will be going to a different school :(


I am also going to miss my girls, Alexa, Claire and Nora. We always had so much fun playing together!

Claire and Claire!

Claire was very proud of me. When she saw me in the front of the room performing, she became very excited and started waving wildy at me :)

If things with Brandon don't work out, I know that Mason will step right up to be my new love!

Daddy took time out of his very busy work schedule to come to my graduation. I was SO happy that he came!!

Mommy keeps telling me that she is very proud of me (at least one hundred times a day!)

This is one of my teachers, Mrs. Fry. I loved doing crafts with her this year.

This is my other teacher, Mrs. Kirchner. I learned so much from her!

After the ceremony was over, Mommy, Daddy, Claire and I went to Isaac's for a celebratory lunch. I got my favorite peanut butter, jelly and marshmallow sandwich on rainbow bread, and of course I topped it off with a delicious sundae!

I loved every single day of preschool (and it was literally every day - I had perfect attendance!), but I am very, very much looking forward to being a kindergartener. Is it August 30th yet?

Carnival!

Last week was the big spring carnival at my preschool. I had so much fun! This is my friend, Mason. My mommy and his mommy say that he likes me a lot :)

My favorite part - the bounce house!

I amazed Mommy with my incredible balance.

Claire had a great time, too, even though I'm a little upset that she took away some attention from my boyfriends.

I asked the balloon man if he could make me a kitty. He whipped on up in less than a minute!!

This is my good friend, Nora. Don't we look pretty in pink?!

Digging for dinosaurs and trying not to get dirty...

Luckily this tiger seemed pretty tame :)

Modeling my face painting masterpiece - a butterfly!

Claire, Mommy and I had a really good time at the carnival. Claire was so good that we were able to stay for the whole two hours!! I'm going to miss all of my preschool friends when we graduate at the end of May.

A Decade of Pug!

Happy 10th Birthday, Trixie!!
