The Graduate

Tonight Ella put on her first cap and gown and collected her first tassel! The Kid's Praise preschool program was as adorable as always. Ella did a lovely job with her "Amen, Praise the Lord!" solo and performed each of her "Behold What Manner of Love the Father" dance steps with precision (her favorites being the finger twirls!). She marched across the stage to the announcement of all three of her names to accept her preschool diploma and shake her teachers' hands. And Delia accomplished something worth mentioning too-- sitting still and quietly watching the kids for over an hour! She was absorbed in the singing and clapped enthusiastically. It's hard to imagine Delia in these programs next year and Ella in the audience with us!

These achievements called for nothing less than some celebratory milkshakes at the local ice cream shop. We're proud parents yet again!

Congratulations, Ella! I hope that Mom & Dad took a video of your solo. Better yet, you can sing it for us in person when we come for our visit. On to kindergarden - new friends, learning to read...how exciting!
