An exciting week!

We have had a really fun week so far! On Monday, Kennedy had her Preschool Graduation Party. They had a professional clown come to the park and entertain the kids and do balloon shapes. Kennedy loved it! Grandma Josie and Grandpa Jay got to come, and Dustin was able to take half the day off and be there as well.

Kennedy has had such a great experience at preschool this year, learning so much and making lots of friends. Her teacher was just amazing, and I know Kennedy will miss her. It was kind of bittersweet for me, thinking this was her last preschool activity, she will be a full-fledged grade-schooler this fall! I can't believe how fast she is growing up.





Yesterday was Kennedy's end-of-the-year dance party. She was so excited for this, they have a drill-down (which she had been practicing a lot for, and was happy to take 3rd place), an awards ceremony, and then they get to spend the points they earned through out the year in a little "store." Everyone brings treats and takes lots of pictures...well, I do, anyway. I was so proud of Kennedy, she got her "4th Year Dancer" award, a good attendance award, and the high points of her class award. Each time her name was called, she'd turn and just grin at me, she was so happy. I loved it!




She has had a great time with Dance Tech, I can't believe she was just a little older than Hudson when she started. I can't imagine him in a weekly class, standing in a line following directions for a half hour...they would kick him out for sure, the little wild man!


Then, the biggest news of the week, last night, Kennedy lost her first tooth! I had hardly come to grips with the fact that it was really loose, and I asked her to let me take a picture of her wiggling it...

She pushed it forward, and out it popped!

She was elated!

It was so fun to help her put it under her pillow, and see her joy this morning when she found a dollar (doesn't inflation suck?) there in it's place. I love having firsts with Kennedy, she is so excited and optimistic about everything, she truly is a joy in my life.
