Preschool Program

Laney's Preschool Program and Graduation...

This year's title...Old Mother Goose.

Laney was chosen to play Mother Goose...

and a star was born!

When she heard that she would be wearing goggles and a hat,

this is what she came up with.

I steered her another way .

Not saying that HER getup wasn't Mother Goose enough though.

I had an outfit made...with MOTHER GOOSE toile fabric and all.

Even Emily was excited for her little sister.

She took her camera and the Mother Goose script to the program.

Probably didn't hurt that Laney's teachers asked Emily and cousin Megan to hand out programs!

Our whole family was so excited for Laney!

My little Miss...so proud of her!

Cousin Madison was one of the 3 little kittens!

That is definitely the part I would have picked if I was in in the play! But I do have to say that she is another STAR! Right in the middle of the program, standing up on stage and all, Madison tapped Laney on the shoulder and told her she liked her top! Ha! And my favorite? While singing a song about Jesus, Madison raised her arms to the heavens, closed her eyes and swayed to her own song!

Many lovely songs...and each presented a new Laney face.

And then the diploma presentation by Laney's teacher. Followed by gifts from Laney's assistant teacher and a bible from the church's pastor.

It was a perfect program.

My Laney...

the little sister who isn't old enough to do what big sister does,

the older sister who is no longer babied like Henry is.

She is my amazing middle superstar.

Watch out BROADWAY...you'll know my girl's name in years to come!

So, after Mother Goose sat down,

songs were belted out,

great big group hugs to Pastor Dan were complete,

refreshments were gobbled up,

hugs and kisses to both sets of grandparents, and other family and friends, who came to watch were finished,

hugs to babysitter Karlee, who watched Henry during the program, were given,

and after a big smile from little brother, showing his love for his older sister, was gifted,

It all came to an end.

And we all woke up this morning.

As she colored and hummed,

I just watched her, my heart full.

And a little thought hit me...

I now have a KINDERGARTENER!

Here's to a new chapter in your life, Laney!

But, oh the memories we will all have of wonderful MOTHER GOOSE!

(Just a little glimpse of your Mother Goose talent. So happy that you didn't get stage fright like your cute little classmate who spoke after you! )
