Emily's Pre-K Graduation!

 Emily has been attending a new Pre-K this year.  With her November birthday, she was going to spend an extra year in preschool while her friends headed off to Kindergarten.  I was worried that she would be bored with a year that copied last year's curriculum, so I enrolled her into the county's preschool program as a peer model.  She absolutely loved it! She made some best friends (like Aela pictured above) and is sooooo ready for kindergarten.  She can write out all her numbers and letters, spells words that she's in print, copies full sentences from books and magazines, and can even sight read some short words.  
The graduation ceremony was so conveniently scheduled for noon on Thursday, so Tim and I took off of work early, grabbed the grandparents and other kids, and headed over for what turned out to be a pretty snazzy ceremony.

The whole family!  We don't get to take photos like this often--I'm usually behind the camera!

The proud graduate!
