Ode to my Little Girl

A couple weeks ago Kali had a sports day at school, it was great to see how good she was at some of the events. She's never shown much interest in anything athletic, but she did very well at the events I saw. She's quite competitive but doesn't like sports which I have had a hard time with. I shouldn't rule out her becoming an athlete, I can always dream, right?

Kindergarten is almost over, so we went to the end of year celebration this week; it was in the evening so it was a family event. The kids had 3 different half hour sessions: music time in the cafeteria with cookies and juice, K-graduation in the Library and play time in the gym. The K-grad was my favorite part, the children sang the cutest song (see video below). Kali sang so well, she just got right into it, one parent came up to me and complimented her so well. She said she joins them in their music class and loves to listen to Kali sing. After the song, their teacher, who is amazing, gave a tribute to each child about their strengths and they received their certificates. She said how big of a heart Kali has and how she likes to make people happy, and talked about her artistic abilities, and her love for music. I was so proud of her.


I have had a great year getting to know some of the other parents at the school. I was the room rep and was also in the parent council. I love the school community, so many parents are involved and the school staff is so friendly, it's really the greatest school.
