Kindergarten graduation!!

HOLY COW!

I cannot believe that the year is over and that there are no more tears of not wanting to go to school.

Chloe has made it through kindergarten and she moved mountains this year and I am so proud of her! She has done so well with learning to read and is amazing with her spanish and her confidence just exploded. I am so glad that we pushed through this year and that we didn't hold Chloe back. It was hard for sure to see her struggle and cry everyday for the first 3 months or so but she has grown so much and we both have learned that to grow as a person, we must stretch ourselves, leave our comfort zones, do things that make us uncomfortable and to take it a day at a time. It's just like our Heavenly Father watching over us, not wanting to see us hurt or sad but knowing that going through tough times is what molds us and refines us and makes us who we need to be. Chloe's teacher is amazing and I have just loved her and how she has taken care of my little Chlo-bug when I could not. Unfortunatley the graduation program was when my dad had planned a sisters weekend in Abq for all of us girls and so I couldn't go and see her. It really broke my heart thinking about not seeing her at this milestone and to say I never cried over it at night would be lying. However I was able to go and watch their program the day before graduation when they performed it for the school. I did cry there too. She is just so sweet and I love her to pieces. 

 That night they watched their favorite movie "Soul Surfer" and Chloe always loves to play the little girl in the movie who lost her arm to a shark. You will frequently find her with her arm in her shirt.
