Olivia won an award for Student of the month! I had to use all my strength not to cry at the assembly today! I am so proud of her. There was a time when I really believed I would home school. I wondered how well my kids would do being "sent off" everyday. I didn't like the idea of being away from Olivia, even for just a few hours a day. Some days I still feel a bit sad and I can't help feeling alittle jealous of her teacher and the time she gets with her and the joy she experiences everyday when Olivia learns something new. That being said I see how much Olivia really LOVES going to school. She has really blossomed into a beautiful happy outgoing positive child. She is well liked and her motivation to learn amazes me. I never really enjoyed school, even as early as Kindergarten. So to see how much Olivia loves it and how hard she works everyday, well, it makes my heart burst with pride and happiness and amazement every single day! To see and hear that her teachers see the same thing really makes me feel blessed.

Before the awards ceremony began the 2nd graders sang two holiday songs(so cute!) One unfortunate boy became so nervous he ran off the stage, stopped mid aisle and threw up all over the floor and then ran out of the building. OMG it was so
funny sad!

Olivia was so nervous I don't think she took her eyes off of her feet the entire time...Here I think she is actually chewing on her award(lol, that's what 4.5yrs of breastfeeding does to a girl--gives her an oral fixation)

After the ceremony the teachers took the awarded students outside so all the proud parents could get photos. I was so
crying proud that I couldn't speak..I just snapped pictures, kissed her and walked away without saying a word. Its ok, I knew I didn't need to talk Olivia and I are so symbiotic words werent necessary.

I am so proud of my daughter and what an amazing person she is growing into. It feels so good to have her efforts recognized...They might not see the angel wings and pink snow falling off of her as she walks by like I do, but they can see what a good girl she really is!

Okay, first of all.........I love my Ollie girl. I'm so so so proud of her. I never thought the apron strings would stretch all the way to Kindergarten and not snap, but hell look at them! She is a good girl.
Please provide garbage cans for me when you are posting about Ollie's pink snow and wings. You know it makes me nauseous. *gag* I'm telling you.....you've never seen "the eyes." If you saw the eyes you'd question the snow too.
Now Kai, on the other hand.....he has BEAUTIFUL blue snowflakes resting on his shoulders....see it? Right there......see it?
Congrats Eeya! You are making me so proud!
