Graduation

Macie graduated from the Church Of Christ Preschool Monday night.  Our neighbor teaches there, and seeing how she was the only person we had met when we moved here, it made sense.  It turned out to be such a good experience for Mace.  She made new friends, learned a lot, and absolutely adored her teachers. I worried about her because she is surprisingly timid and nervous in many situations.  She doesn't even like to be alone in rooms of our house.  In fact, she often coerces Charlotte to go upstairs, downstairs, or in the bathroom with her so she isn't alone.

-With her teachers, Ms. Misty and Ms. Paula-

I love this little girl.  She is the funniest kid. 
She always says that she doesn't want to be a grown-up and that she wants to be a kid forever.
(deliberate mothering goal: make adulthood and parenting more enticing.) 
Recently she told Todd that she doesn't want to get married.  Todd replied that when you grow up it is fun to get married.  Then, in all seriousness and with a hint of utter terror, Macie asked, "But what if I marry someone who only speaks Spanish?"

On Macie's Last day at school, Spangle and Daisy Mae the clowns visited the students.  Macie told me over and over how wonderful they were, so when we found out they would be at Chick Fillet last night, we headed on over.  The girls had fun getting face paint and balloon animals.  Todd had fun eating all of their Icedream while they waited in line. Carv was tired.  He didn't seem to have much fun at all.
