Eve's Graduation

Eve recently graduated from preschool...with a ceremony and everything! When they called her name to receive her "diploma" either she wasn't paying attention or else was just feeling unsure of what to do and remained in her chair until a few moments passed, her name was called again, and a teacher directed her out of her chair. Triggered by her nervousness, she immediately put her thumb in her mouth and walked up to accept her certificate. There were some audible "awww"s as she hesitantly made her way over to her teacher. Her teacher said she was proud of Eve for "growing into her own" this year since she started out the school year with hardly ever speaking at school. On the first day of school she wouldn't even tell them her name and days passed before anyone could get a smile out of her. By the end of the school year she had a few friends that she looked forward seeing each school day, and loved her teacher Miss Sandy. Her favorite place in the classroom was the book corner, were I would often find her when I came to pick her up.

She still says she's not sure if she's ready for kindergarten, but I think she'll rise to the occasion. She's absolutely ready academically; she just has a hard time being away from home, out of her comfortable surroundings. I'm not sure if I'm ready to have her away from home, out of her comfortable surroundings! She'll be fine...we both will. I sure love our sweet little Eve.
