This was Triniti's third year of pre-school, but I have been far and away most impressed by this year. It was a specific pre-k curriculum, and the things that she has learned and grown from this year astound me! She is sight reading like a pro, has a really good grasp on basic math, and probably most importantly has become much more self-confident. She is so stubborn and strong willed, which is why it was surprising that the only suggestion that her teacher ever had for me was that Trin could stand to, well, stand up for herself a little more.
She aims to please everyone, so it breaks my heart to think that she lets herself get taken advantage of because she's just trying to keep everyone happy. It's something that we've been trying to work on at home...the idea that she needs to listen to her teachers at school and church, but when she knows something isn't right, it's okay to speak up! I worry sometimes that it stems from me maybe demanding too much or being too strict, and even if it's not that, that this trait will be something that causes her heartache later on.
Wow...all I wanted to do was post some pictures of Trin at graduation! I just hope that I can instill in my girls a sense of strength and independence; confidence in the perfect little daughters of God that they are. I really would be okay if they stayed 5 and 1 forever!
We love Miss Maria!
Did I mention my dad came?
Love you, little girl!
