Emma’s Graduation

This is a picture-heavy post as I’m SOOOOO proud of my little girl!  On Tuesday, she graduated from Kindergarten!  You may know that for us, any milestone is a BIG milestone!  And one that’s celebrated.  A few months ago, when we were in the throes of IEP‘s and in the back of my head, I really didn’t know if she should move on to first grade.  It was a huge struggle for me…something that I thought about.  A lot.  After speaking with her teacher (also my college roommate!), she finally put my mind at ease.  Yes, Emma needed to move on to first grade.  This was such a relief to actually know.  And to know that she would stay with her peers.  Here are some pictures from our wonderful day!

  1. Congrats! 1st grade! It’s amazing how much of my Kaitlyn I see in Emma. Down to her walk and how she watched everyone during the “New York” song, but still participated. Strangely, she call her Grandmother (my Mom) Oma!

    Good luck in 1st grade, little lady!

  2. Big accomplishment! Yay, Emma! I love the pictures…very cute!
