Two days, two graduates.

Thursday was Rachel's Joy School graduation - she's still got another year of Joy School but each year ends in a celebration. Sadly, she didn't make her to her own graduation because she started running a fever, but no matter - she is officially a second-year Joy School kid! Next year we add on a "Kindergarten Readiness" unit but considering the fact that she is already reading BOB books, I think we may just focus on tying shoes and memorizing phone numbers.

Friday our Lily graduated from Kindergarten! She was a champ - all smiles... that is, until we all ate lunch in the cafeteria and she refused to eat any of the three choices offered. She even packed her own lunch of pretzels and carrots this morning, anticipating that she would not like anything prepared at school. Smart girl. Despite her preparedness, her morale was somehow battered by the experience and I fear it may have tainted her anticipation for first grade. Oh brother. Well, at least graduation was fun! Love you Lily, picky taste buds and all!
