The Spark's graduation

After two years in the Toddler Room and three years in the Primary Room, The Spark has completed her tenure at our beloved Montessori school. She is our third graduate of this fine institution and is as well prepared (comfortably above grade level) as her big brothers were when they graduated. It has been sad for us every time one of them has to leave this wonderful, little school. But she is very excited to join her brothers next fall. Especially since that school spent yesterday at a water park. She so wants to go there now. No great pics from her graduation unfortunately. It was raining so they had to hold the festivities in one of the classrooms, and J with the camera was not in a very prime photo opportunity spot. So all we have is from before we left, and luckily our sitter was still here so we have a whole family shot. Bummer that Cupcake was NOT happy to have to change clothes and be photographed and wisked out the door. Have I mentioned that she does not like to do anything that she does not want to do when someone might NEED her to do it?!?!?! First stop: the boys' end of the season baseball BBQ also being held indoors thanks to the rain. And also, no good photos were taken there either.

So baseball is officially over (yeah!), and The Spark is officially ready for big kid school (sigh).

Well, it's good of the two middlest, easiest of the gang.
