Mabel... Graduate

Well, she made it. After dropping out last year after three weeks, she made it through the whole school year and Mae graduated preschool... barely. Pretty much what we figured, Mae didn't want to stand with her class in the middle up front with all the parents watching so she cried and then Dad took her out and then they came back in and then she stood off to the side for the whole thing and then she was so relieved when it was all done it wasn't even funny.

Pretty much par for the course for the kid who was still crying at drop off up to and through the last week of school...

That said, it was a beautiful ceremony led by her teacher, Ms. Swiderski, who is one of the most beautiful souls you will ever meet in your life. She was so wonderful with Mabel all year long and mom and dad loved her for it.

And this is her other teacher, Ms. Javan. She was lots of fun too.

And here's old Mae just hanging by her handprints on the wall. Cute kid.

Mae had a bestie this year - her name was Adriana. She was kind of like my Nadia but not really because they were tight but not that tight. 

FAMILY SHOTS!!!
