Sophia graduated from preschool on Friday!
At graduation the class sang songs, demonstrated their American Sign Language and Spanish vocabulary and played musical instruments. A few of the kids were asked to do "solos." Sophia's solo was counting to 10 in Spanish and paying the harmonica. She did, of course, awesome. Graduation ended with each child making a speech about what s/he liked best about school. Sophia eloquently spoke about liking everything because it is all fun.
She started at the neighborhood preschool, Tiny Tots, at 3 years old. When she started she was shy and nervous around unfamiliar people. She's so much more confident and talkative now! We have made many friends there. I will miss our morning walk/bike ride to school and the socializing on the playground after class.
Time for Kindergarden.
The time has come that Chloe doesn't want us to spoon feed her anymore. She has become very insistent on using her own spoon for yogurt and oatmeal (she's still working on the fork). Surprisingly, she's a very neat eater. Not too much food in the lap and only a little bit on the face.
On Saturday Sophia was the flower girl in my cousin Amber's wedding. Sophia took it as an important job. She fussed over her outfit, smiled perfectly for the cameras, deliberately tossed flower pedals down the aisle, and stood still with a sweet smile on her face during the vows. All this as it was raining on her. She did a WONDERFUL job...and she was so BEAUTIFUL.
