Ariana-The-Kindergartener

Ariana is now officially a 1st grader! She is thrilled!  But before she moves on, there are a few things I want to always remember about my kindergartner! I knew she would love love love everything about school and she did! There was nothing wrong with anything that ever happened! If anything surprised me, and it really shouldn’t have, was how much all the other kids love Ariana! It would take me forever to leave the school everyday because Ari had to hug and say good-bye to everyone! It wasn’t just kids in her class it was 1st graders, 3rd graders, 2nd graders and even 4th and 5th when I picked up Ammon! It was crazy to see how many kids just love her!!

Everyday Ariana got hurt at school! Either she tripped, got hit accidentally with something, or she bumped into something! She is quiet a klutz so it isn’t too surprising, but my poor girl!!

Another thing that I always want to remember about Ariana being in kindergarden is how dirty she was every single day when she would come home!! Her face, her hands, her clothes!! She went through 4 pairs of shoes in a school year!! She totally thrashed them! And she was always dirty!!

This is a normal Ari outfit! A skirt is a MUST with leggings or shorts and a short sleeve shirt! Here her socks match but she often had mismatched socks, on purpose!!

It is kinda hard to see in the picture, but there is food on her face and marker on her hands! Her shirt and skirt are sooooo filthy!! I know these are white so dirt stands out, but no matter what color she has on it looked like this!! I would laugh everyday as she would come running up to me filthy and a huge smile on her face with a story about how she got hurt! I already miss that!

On the last day of school Ariana brought home a HUGE envelope filled with all her creations! She traveled the world learning so many new things!

As we went through the envelope I took pictures of all her projects since I can’t keep them all. Here are a few of our favorites!

Her cute penguin from the South Pole!

Her amazing and colorful butterfly!

This is Ariana’s self portrait!

I love knowing what she thinks!

I love that no matter how much fun she has at school her favorite thing is to come home to her Mommy!!

This is Ariana’s fishy that swims in a lake!

Although Ariana is friends with everyone, she bestest best friend was Piper! One day after school she told me that her and Piper would be best friends forever and ever and ever! They would be best friends when they were Mommies! They would be best friends when they were Grandmas! They would even be best friends when they died! They would be eternal best friends!

So now she is a big first grader! She has the same teacher and it so excited about that! She is sad that summer is so long! I love my big 1st grader!! But I can wait to see what next year holds! I just want her to stay this little forever!
