We have a graduate in the house! I remember taking this little girl to preschool when she was 2 years old. She was very timid and shy. She did not speak at school the entire first year but would come home and act out everything she observed at school. She was always sad when I dropped her off but was always smiling from ear to ear when I picked her up. Her teachers loved her and nurtured her. I got so much joy in watching how God uses other people besides me to mold her.
It is amazing how much she has grown. She went from a 2 year old who would not participate in the Christmas play to a 5 year old saying a Bible verse at her graduation ceremony. I remember praying for a child with a sweet spirit. God is so faithful. The first time I layed my eyes on her, I said she looks like she has a sweet spirit. I could see it in her eyes. So at graduation, tears rolled down my face when her teacher announced her name and said "Future ballerina and awarded the sweet spirit award."
So here is my 5 year old. She loves skirts and t-shirts. Imagine that! I wonder where she gets that from?
She loves her friends and having playdates.
She loves ballet.
She loves dress up and her new scooter.
I am so thankful God gave me this sweet blessing. I am proud to be her mommy.
I love you Pumpkin!

Oh my goodness, that is so sweet, I'm almost going to cry! God is so amazing how He works things out. Its in those little special moments of life when we can almost hear Him whispering in our ear that we are reminded of His presence and love in our lives. What a beautiful picture of your graduate! Congratulations! :)
She's so precious. Before you can blink, she will be graduating from elementary school and headed into middle school. Trust me, it's just as tough. Sniff sniff.
She IS such a sweet gal! I think it's in the genes... and of course, an answer to your prayers. It has been fun watching her grow, & will be fun to keep on watching her grow up.
Beautiful!
